Questions
Is The Supine Studio LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes, we are a fully LGBTQ+ affirming practice. We respect chosen names and pronouns, maintain strict confidentiality, and create a judgment-free space for all clients.
Do you accept insurance for massage therapy?
We do not bill insurance directly but accept HSA/FSA payments. Some clients seek reimbursement through their providers using documentation we provide.
What makes Manual Lymphatic Drainage different from regular massage?
MLD uses light, rhythmic movements to stimulate lymph fluid movement without manipulating muscles. It specifically targets lymphatic system function rather than muscle tissue relaxation.
Can I receive massage during cancer treatment?
Yes, our oncology-trained therapists adapt techniques for safety and comfort during all treatment phases. We coordinate care with medical teams and follow strict safety protocols.
What should I wear for my massage session?
Clients undress to comfort level while maintaining draping. For lymphatic work, disposable undergarments are available. Stretch Therapy options allow fully clothed sessions if preferred.
How often should I schedule lymphedema treatments?
Initial Complete Decongestive Therapy requires 3-5 weekly sessions for 2-6 weeks. Maintenance typically involves monthly sessions with daily self-care between appointments.
