Standard sessions last 1 hour. Shorter or longer sessions are available. Each session is tailored to meet your special needs. A session may cover the full body or focus on specific areas such as back, neck, feet, or legs.
Before the session the therapist will discuss a complete health history. Be sure and tell them about any cronic aches and pains. Areas that need special attention and any medical conditions which they need to be aware of. Also tell them if you have any preferences about the type of massage you like such as extre deep, light work etc. After the session the therapist may suggest ways to help you deal with stress on a day to day basis.
Privacy and modesty are protected at all times. You may wear as much or as little as you modesty dictates. You will be covered with a full body sheet drape (only the area being worked on will be exposed).
During the massage be sure and inform your therapist if you find anything uncomfortable. Due to some cancer medications pressure of the strokes should not be beyond wher it "hurts so good". If the pressure is too deep bruising may occur. If you want more pressure be sure and let it be known. We have your best interest in mind and want you to be totally satisfied with your massage experience.
Please advise your therapist if you experienced any skin sensitivities. Oil is the primary lubricant used. A variety of scents are available, or no scent at all may be used. Scents are pure herbal essences chosen for their therapeutic or aromatic value. Powder, lotion or no lubricant at all m ay also be used depending on the skin type, personal preference, or techniques being used.
Some people experience soreness, a mild headache or nausea the day of or the day after a massage. This is due to the body's natural process of elimination toxins. Many people find it helpful to take a warm shower or bath, dring plenty of water and spend 5 - 10 minutes doing deep breathing exercises.
