Question: Which areas of my body will get massaged?

Answer: The therapist will ask you what your specific goals for treatment are eg; headaches, relaxation, restricted range of motion. You will also be asked to describe any chronic problems that you are experiencing. This will determine the appropriate regions of your body that need attention. A typical full-body massage involves your back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet, and hands.

 

Question: Will I experience muscle soreness following a massage therapy treatment?

Answer: Most people report that they feel very relaxed, and often experience significant relief from aches, pains and stress after a massage session. However some people, especially those who require deep-tissue massage, experience mild muscle soreness which may last a day or two. Once the soreness is gone, they often notice heightened energy levels and an increased range of motion.

 

Question: I'm not sure I'm comfortable with a stranger touching me. What happens if I don't like it?

Answer: It is not uncommon for first-time clients to be apprehensive with the personal nature of massage therapy. Most clients lose this apprehension within the first few minutes of treatment. Massage therapists are trained professionals who respect your feelings and go out of their way to allow you to feel comfortable. At any point during treatment you may ask to stop the treatment or end the session for any reason.

 

Question: Do I have to take off all of my clothes?

Answer: One of the keys to the success of a your massage therapy session is your ability to relax and feel comfortable. Therefore, the decision is yours; remove only the articles of clothing that you are comfortable with removing. Traditional full-body massage treatments work best administered directly, without the barrier of clothing on the areas massaged. During a session you will be fully covered with a table sheet/blanket, only the area of your body that is being worked on is uncovered.  Before and after the session, you will undress and dress in complete privacy.

 

Question: Will my extended healthcare plan cover the costs of massage therapy treatments?

Answer: Most extended healthcare plans include some massage therapy. But it is wise to check with your provider as some plans ask you to first receive a physician's referral.
