Frequently Asked Questions.
1. What should I expect during my first massage appointment?
During your first appointment, you'll complete a health intake form and discuss any concerns or goals with your therapist. The therapist will explain the process, and you’ll be able to ask any questions. You'll be asked to undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table, covered by a sheet and appropriately draped throughout the session.
2. How should I prepare for my massage?
Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork and relax before your session. Drink plenty of water before and after your massage, and avoid eating a heavy meal right before your appointment.
3. What should I wear to my massage session?
Wear comfortable clothing. You will be asked to undress to your comfort level, which can be down to your underwear or fully undressed, as you will be draped with a sheet throughout the session.
4. Will the massage hurt?
Massage should not be painful. You may experience some discomfort if the therapist is working on particularly tight or sore areas, but it should be manageable. Always communicate with your therapist about your comfort level.
5. How often should I get a massage?
The frequency of massage depends on your individual needs and goals. For general wellness, a monthly massage is beneficial. For specific issues like chronic pain or injury recovery, more frequent sessions may be recommended.
6. Can I get a massage if I’m pregnant?
Yes, as long as your doctor has approved it, prenatal massage is safe and beneficial during pregnancy. Be sure to inform your therapist of your pregnancy so they can adjust the techniques and positioning for your comfort and safety.
