What to expect
Your first massage
So you have finally done it. You have set aside the time, located
a massage therapist, and made an appointment. You are going to
get your first massage. Now you are beginning to question your
decision. You have never done this before and you're getting a
little nervous. What is a professional massage really like? Do
I have to get completely naked in front of a stranger?
Relax. Take a deep breath as we go over your first massage and
what to expect.
The biggest concern most people have when receiving their first
massage is the level of undress required. While many people prefer
to receive massage fully undressed, it is not absolutely necessary.
You will remain fully draped throughout the massage. Your massage
therapist will only undrape the body part being massaged.
Also, your massage therapist will leave the room so that you can
undress in private. Once you are comfortable on the massage table
and under the covers, your massage therapist will re-enter the
room to begin your first massage.
Your first massage will be administered in a warm, softly light,
room with relaxing music playing in the background. Every detail
of the room is designed to help you melt the tension away.
You will be asked to arrive a few minutes early so that you can
fill out an intake form. The massage therapist will then review
that information. Then your therapist will suggest a massage plan
to meet your unique needs.
What will your massage feel like? Your first massage will most
likely be a Wellness Massage based on Swedish techniques. Long
gliding strokes are intended to soothe and calm the nervous system.
Once in a calm, relaxed state the muscles can tolerate deeper
more therapeutic pressure.
Many people wonder what to do during their first massage. Our
busy lives can make it very difficult to simply unplug and relax
for an hour. Your massage therapist may ask you to do some deep
breathing, or gently remind you not to "hold" yourself.
Once your massage therapist starts the massage, you will have
no problem knowing what to do. Breathe and relax.
Advanced Wellness Massage invites you to enjoy the many benefits
of massage therapy. To that end we are offering our Pinecrest
Wellness Massage offer to you. Try us for your first massage
in the Pinecrest area.
Treatment Room
This is your sanctuary from the hectic, noisy world. Every detail
of the massage treatment room has been carefully thought out and
I believe this is a room you will want to be in. Natural filtered
sunlight lights the space as the warm earth tones bring a
sense of well being and tranquility. A light citrus aroma drifts
in the air as relaxing music
softly plays in the background as the Oriental theme harkens to
the ancient balance and wisdom within our bodies. Also, the massage
room is kept at a moderate temperature to keep you from getting
cold. So whether for wellness massage or a more therapeutic style
of bodywork, I am sure you will find the massage treatment room
an oasis from the ordinary.
