Must I be completely undressed?
Traditionally, most massage and bodywork techniques are performed
without the restriction of clothing. However, you may decide that
you would be more comfortable wearing some undergarments.

Will the massage therapist be
present when I disrobe?
No. The massage therapist will leave while you undress. When you
are finished, relax onto the table and cover yourself with the
linens provided on the massage table. The massage therapist will
knock before returning.

Will I be covered during the session?
You will be properly covered at all times to keep you warm and
comfortable. The massage therapist will only uncover an area while
it is being worked on.

Which parts of my body will be
massaged?
You and the massage therapist will discuss the desired outcome
of the session. This will determine which parts of the body require
massage. A typical full-body session will include back, arms,
legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.

How will a massage feel?
It usually depends on the techniques used. Many massage therapists
use a form of Swedish massage, which is often a baseline for practitioners.
In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad,
flowing strokes (effleurage) that will help calm your nervous
system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes
relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific
areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Often, a light oil
or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without
causing excessive friction to the skin. Do not hesitate to ask
questions or mention if you feel any discomfort so that the massage
therapist can use another approach or technique.

Are there any conditions that
would make massage or bodywork inadvisable?
Yes. That is why the massage therapist will ask you general health
questions before your session. It is important that you make the
massage therapist aware of any health problems or medications
you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly
advised that you receive a written recommendation prior to any
session.

How long will a massage treatment
last?
The average full-body massage treatment lasts approximately one
hour. A half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage
session, such as neck and shoulders, back or legs and feet.
