You will be covered by a sheet and at all times to keep you comfortable. The therapist will only expose the area of your body she is working on. You should let your masage therapist know if you are uncomfortable at any time for any reason.

Will my insurance cover massage?

It really depends on your plan. Most plans have massage coverage. To find out if your insurance covers massage, call Sandy our office manager and she can check on your massage benefits.

How will I feel after my massage treatment?

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience a significant decrease or freedom from long-term aches and pains. Many feel a little slowed down for a short period and then notice an increase of energy, heightened awareness and increased productivity which can last for days. If you received a deep massage, you may be slightly sore the next day – much like a good workout at the gym. Sometimes a hot shower or a soak in the tub can ease this soreness.

Can I talk during my session?

Of course. Often people may feel more relaxed starting off talking, and as the massage progresses enter a quiet state of relaxation. More importantly, there are times when you need to speak up. If the massage pressure is too light or too strong, you should let your massage therapist know, so they can adapt their treatment to your tolerance. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  Our therapists want to help you heal, but also relax and enjoy the experience.

Will the massage hurt?

This depends on the type of massage. A light, relaxing massage that doesn’t probe very deep into the muscles shouldn’t hurt. A deep tissue massage can sometimes cause a “feel good” type of brief soreness. Once the brief soreness goes away, the patient usually feels a lot of relief.  We provide both types of massage treatment in our office.  Our therapists will go over your expectations with you to come up with a therapy plan that best suits your needs.

What do I do during a massage treatment?

Make yourself comfortable. If your therapist wants you to adjust your position, she will either move you or ask you to move what is needed. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. Just relax and enjoy the experience.

What should I expect during my first massage therapy visit?

Your massage therapist will ask you to fill out a health history form.  You can either complete this in the office before your appointment, or have the form emailed to you to fill out at home before you arrive.  The massage therapist will go over your health history and ask you about the areas you want her to work on.  The massage therapist will also describe the types of treatments she can perform so you and your therapist can decide the one that suits you best.  This is a good time to ask questions.  Our therapists want to make sure you have a chance to ask any questions so that you feel comfortable before your treatment begins.
