What you should expect
On your first appointment you will be asked to fill out a medical history form to familiarize your massage therapist with any current or past problems. You will then be asked to undress in private, the type of session that you will be receiving and the
specific areas of your body that will be worked on will determine your required state of undress.
You will then lie down under a sheet on a comfortable padded massage table in a position explained to you by your therapist.. During the massage only the part of the body being worked on will be uncovered.
The general areas of the body that will be included in a full body session are the neck, shoulders, arms, hands and fingers, upper and lower back, buttocks, legs, feet and toes, abdomen, rib cage, chest, face and scalp. The genitals and breast tissue will never be uncovered or massaged.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the techniques being used or about massage in general. It is your time to relax - some people like to talk, while others prefer to remain quiet. Most people experience a deep sense of relaxation following the massage and a relief from both mental and physical tension.
