Frequently Asked Questions
Do we provide treatment services to minors?
Yes, we do! It is our policy that the parent or legal guardian be present in the treatment space at all times during treatment for children under the age of 18. If the responsible adult leaves the treatment space, the therapist will leave as well and you will still be responsible for full payment of services.
What can I expect when I go for a massage appointment?
On your first visit, you will complete a confidential health history form. Your therapist will assess and create a treatment plan for you. At this time it is essential to inform your therapist if you have any medical conditions or are taking any medications. To fully understand your position your Massage Therapist listens to your concerns and your individual needs as well as other factors that may be contributing to your situation. With your health history information, your therapist will develop a treatment plan with you so you receive the appropriate treatment that will help you return, as much as possible, to your normal activities.
Do I have to disclose all my health conditions on the Health History form for my Massage Therapist?
It is best if you can give an accurate picture of your health and injuries on your health history form. This enables your therapist to design the most appropriate and effective treatment for you
Should I eat before I come for a massage?
It is best to not eat for at least 90 minutes before your massage treatment and only have a light meal then.
What if I am uncomfortable with my body? Do I have to undress?
please Let your therapist know your comfort level. It is possible to work with a client who is dressed. Direct skin contact is best with an application of oil or lotion. However, your Massage Therapist is required to cover/drape you so only to expose the area which they are working on. So opting to wear your clothes is fine, bring clothes that you can get oil on like a bathing suit or shorts and a tank top.
Am I expected to talk during the massage?
If you wish to have silence, you should say so at the beginning of the treatment. The therapist may, however, require verbal information pertinent to health findings during the treatment.
After my appointment, is there anything I need to have on hand or anything specific I should do?
Plan for 30 minutes of quiet time right after your treatment. An Epsom salt bath is recommended to soothe and to calm muscles, and enhance the benefits of the massage. It will help alleviate stiffness you may feel the next day, and it is also recommended for use after workouts for the same reason. Make sure to drink water to keep your tissues hydrated.
