Have a question about your upcoming session? We want you to feel completely comfortable and prepared before you walk through our doors. Below, you’ll find answers to our most frequently asked questions regarding appointments, what to expect, and getting the most out of your treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Will I Feel After My Massage?
Depending on the type of massage you receive, you may feel a little tired or sore. We usually suggest an extra glass or two of water to help your body stay hydrated. Many people feel like they have more energy and are even more alert in the days following a massage.
When Should I Not Get A Massage?
The only real reason to not get a massage is if you are sick. It wouldn’t be good if you have a cold, the flu, or any kind of skin infection. If you are recovering from surgery, we may require written approval from your doctor before resuming your massages.
Do I Have To Listen To Spa Music During My Massage?
While most massage therapists, us included, do play spa relaxation music, it is not your only choice. If you have a musical preference, please ask your therapist to see what else is available — some clients even prefer no music at all. If you have music you’d like to listen to, ask if you can connect your phone and play it during your session. Remember, this is all about you and being able to relax to get the most out of your massage!
Is It OK To Talk During My Massage?
Sure, if you’d like to talk, go right ahead. The important thing to remember is that this treatment is all about you relaxing and enjoying the experience. Many therapists discourage talking in hopes that you will relax, let your mind float free, and enter a state of massage bliss. In many instances, people may feel more relaxed starting off talking, and as the massage progresses, enter quiet states of relaxation. The important issue here is that there are times when you need to speak up: if the therapist is doing anything to make you uncomfortable, let them know immediately. Also let them know if you get too warm or too cold, if the room is too bright, or if the pressure needs to be changed (lighter or deeper). If something isn’t working for you — speak up! It’s OK!
Can I Walk In For A Massage Without An Appointment?
No, we do not accept walk-in clients. Please complete our online form, or call or text to set up your appointment. We sometimes do have same-day appointments available.
How Early Should I Arrive For My Massage?
All of our appointments are by appointment only. We ask that you arrive no more than 10 minutes before your appointment.
What Should I Expect On My First Visit For Massage Therapy?
Upon arriving, we will have you complete an intake form. This gives us information about your current condition, medications, surgeries, or health issues we may need to know about. It’s also important to list any allergies so your therapist is aware if they need to use a different oil or lotion during the session.
Do I Have To Totally Undress?
We always have our clients undress to their personal level of comfort. We provide proper draping and only uncover the area we’re working on. Please discuss this with your therapist if you’re ever uncomfortable.
Can Regular Massages Help With My Headaches and Migraines?
We can’t make any promises, even though many people have found relief from migraines with regular massages. Be sure to mention this to your therapist so they can customize your massage to help you get relief.
Can I Get A Massage Even While I Am Pregnant?
Yes! In fact, it’s quite common for pregnant women to enjoy a massage to help ease the aches and pains of carrying a baby. This type of massage is called a Prenatal Massage. Let us help you relax and safely enjoy a massage.
What If I Fall Asleep During My Massage?
Usually it’s considered rude to fall asleep when visiting someone — but it’s not uncommon at all for our clients to fall asleep during their massage. We take it as a compliment!
Does Your Studio Have Free Parking?
Yes, we have plenty of free parking. All of our parking is also wheelchair accessible, with no steps to get into our office.
