Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
What type of massage is right for me?
It really depends on what your goals are for your session. However I try to keep it simple by narrowing it down to just 2 choices.
- For relaxation and stress release definitely go with the Swedish it is very calming and you still can choose the deeper pressure to your liking.
- For a customized experience with focus on trouble areas. Really good for aches and pains. Choose the Therapeutic.
Deep Tissue?
There is a big misconception about deep tissue massage. Deep Tissue is a specific type of massage to target certain muscles deeper in your body under several layers of other muscles and tissue. It is a dry work (meaning no lotion or oils are used). You remain clothed.
**Deep tissue is not a term to imply you like strong pressure during your massage.**
How should I prepare for my first treatment?
-Be sure to wear little to no jewelry.
-Be sure you are hygienically conscious, don't come after a gym work out or a hot day of work, give yourself a chance to get refreshed before coming in to your appointment. This is so important to allow your body a better experience as your muscles will be more receptive to the therapy.
- Do not take any pain killers before your session, it is very important that you do not alter your pain sense.
- Make sure you know that names of all you medications you are currently taking, as some medications contradict massage therapy.
What should I expect from my first session?
Your first session is really a chance for me; your therapist to get to know you, and what you will benefit from the most. I will be learning your holding patterns and trouble areas. Then after your first session I can start creating a plan to help aid in those areas, and really help get you back to your goal. Don't worry that doesn't mean it wont be beneficial.
You may feel a little dizzy which is completely normal as we are getting your circulation moving and releasing toxins. To help alleviate this please be sure to drink plenty of water afterwards.
