What to
expect during a massage
No matter
what kind of massage you choose, you should feel calm and
relaxed during and after your massage. When you come to me
for a massage, you can expect to:
-
Answer a few
questions. I would like to know what you want out of your massage.
Are you looking for help with a pulled muscle? I also
need to know about any medical conditions you may have.
-
Remove most
of your clothes. You'll have
privacy while you take your clothes off and I provide a
towel to cover yourself with. I am very concerned with
maintaining your modesty and comfort and will keep you
covered as much as possible throughout your massage.
-
Be asked to
lie down. I have an
electric, padded massage table that you will lie on.
Pillows or bolsters might be used to position you during
the massage. This allows you to relax completely during
the massage. Music usually plays softly while you're
massaged.
-
Have oils
and lotions used on your skin. I use oils
or lotions to reduce friction while massaging your body.
If you're allergic to any ingredients commonly found in
body oils and lotions, tell me before your massage as I
might have something that will not have that ingredient.
-
Never feel
pain. Occasionally you may have a sensitive spot in a muscle
that feels like a knot. It's likely to be momentarily
uncomfortable while I work it out. If it becomes
painful, let me know..
-
Spend about
an hour. Most table massages are an hour, though some can be 30
minutes to 90 minutes long. It's your preference.
