What do I wear in my massage?We recommend you dress down to your personal level of comfort. Our protocol demands the use of professional draping techniques that provide constant and continuous coverage for the undressed body. Only the area being worked on is exposed, with the covering restored before moving on to the next part. |
How often should I come in for a massage?This depends on your symptoms and the severity [stiffness, soreness, or lack of mobility]. The general rule of thumb is your first month should consist of once weekly for at least 90 minutes, then weekly for 60 minutes [when symptom free] for best results. |
Why should I drink a lot of water?Drinking water completes the massage by inviting the acids released during massage to exit the muscles and joints without allowing them to resettle in the tissue, which causes a relapse of stress or pain. |
What type of massage should I get?Each massage is designed personally for each client. We use a data sheet and a consultation before each massage that enables the therapist to tailor a program that best suits your needs. |
