I’ve never had a massage before. What’s the first session like?
At the first session the practitioner will ask you about your overall health. You will be left alone to undress, relax on the table and cover yourself with a sheet. It is important to state your specific goals for the session and to give the practitioner feedback so she can adjust to the appropriate level of pressure for you.
How often should I get a massage?
Massage, like other forms of preventive healthcare, is more beneficial the more often it is received. A massage a month is suggested to keep the body and muscles relaxed. However, higher levels of stress or activity level would indicate a need for more frequent massages in order to bring about and maintain optimum health and relaxation.
Are there conditions for which massage is contraindicated?
Yes. That is why it is imperative that you disclose any health issues you might have to the practitioner.
Must I be completely undressed?
Most massage is performed with the client unclothed; however, you may decide what amount of clothing you prefer to wear. You will always be properly draped during a session.
