First time massage -What to
know
You will be introduced to your professional male
or female therapist and they will guide you to your private, warm
and quiet massage room. You and your therapist will discuss the
desired outcome of your session to determine which areas of your
body require the most attention. In your Therapeutic Massage room ,
soft, soothing music will be played to help you relax and the
therapist will leave you to undress to your own level of comfort
(see FAQ for more information). You will then lie on the massage
table, face up, and cover yourself with the clean blankets
provided. You will remain properly draped during the entire session
to keep you warm and comfortable. Often, a light lotion is used to
allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive
friction to the skin.
In a general Swedish Massage , your session may
begin with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous
system and relax muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed,
pressure will gradually be increased. It is important to
communicate with your therapist if you feel any discomfort so that
another approach may be taken. Therapeutic Massage is most
effective when your body is not resisting.
When your massage is complete your therapist will
leave the room to allow for you to re-dress. Your therapist will
then provide you with water and ask if you have any questions or
concerns about your massage or future massages.
After your massage you will feel relaxed and you
may feel relief from long-term aches and pains. For the first 24
hours after a deep tissue massage, you may feel a little sore or
achy. This is a normal response due to toxins releasing from your
soft tissue, it is highly recommended that you drink plenty of
water following any massage. After that time, you will feel
increased energy, heightened awareness and greater
productivity.
It is important that you inform your therapist of
any health problems or medications you are taking prior to your
massage.
