Questions
What should I expect during my first appointment?
Arrive 10 minutes early to complete an intake form. We'll discuss your needs and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements.
How should I prepare for a massage session?
Undress to your comfort level - you'll be properly draped throughout the session. Avoid heavy meals beforehand and communicate any specific concerns with your therapist.
Can I talk during the massage session?
Yes, all conversations remain confidential. However, minimizing talking helps achieve deeper relaxation and maximizes therapeutic benefits through focused breathing.
Is falling asleep during massage normal?
Yes, it's a positive sign of relaxation. Your body enters healing mode when you fall asleep, indicating effective activation of your parasympathetic nervous system.
How often should I schedule massage sessions?
Monthly maintenance is recommended. For acute pain, 2-3 sessions back-to-back followed by biweekly appointments helps break pain cycles effectively.
