Questions
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage reduces stress hormones while boosting serotonin and dopamine levels. It improves circulation, relieves muscle tension, aids injury recovery, and enhances immune function through increased natural killer cells.
What should I wear during a massage session?
Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. During treatment, you may choose to wear as much or as little as you're comfortable with, as draping techniques maintain privacy while allowing effective treatment.
How often should I get a massage?
Frequency depends on individual needs. Athletes often benefit from weekly sessions, while general wellness clients typically schedule monthly appointments. Your therapist can recommend an optimal treatment plan during your initial consultation.
Do massage therapists require medical history?
Yes, therapists will ask for medical history information to ensure safe and effective treatment. This includes current health conditions, medications, and specific areas of concern to tailor the massage appropriately.
Is tipping expected for massage services?
Tipping is not required but appreciated. A customary 10-20% tip is typically given based on satisfaction with the service quality and overall experience.
What types of massage are offered?
Chappaz Massage offers therapeutic massage combining Swedish, deep tissue, and sports techniques. Each session is customized to address specific needs ranging from relaxation to injury recovery and athletic performance enhancement.
