If you have never received a massage before...
How should I dress?
- Clients prefer light/sports clothing to be able to dress/undress quickly.
- Dress down to your own personal comfort level, we will work around whatever you decide.
- For a Post Surgical Massage wear your compression garments and remove them before the session. If you need assistance, you may ask your massage therapist for help. They are not required to assist you during those times so it is best to let them know.
- Keeping your underwear bottoms on is fine, but if you keep your bra on, it makes it difficult for the therapist to work on your back.
- Men who wear boxers, loose fitting ones are best. Boxer briefs make it a little more difficult to work certain areas of the hips/thighs, but it is still manageable.
- Remove obstructive jewelry before getting on the table. Necklaces, earrings, watches/bracelets, etc.
- For long-haired individuals, having a hair-tie available is best.
- Please, DO NOT start undressing before the therapist leaves the room. Get under the sheets before the therapist comes back in to start your session.
- Draping is required in our facilities.
If you are pregnant, or recently gave birth
Take Precautions
- During pregnancy, keep your doctor and practitioners informed about all the different therapies that you are doing.
- If you gave birth within the last 6 weeks, you must receive a postnatal massage session. Although you’re not pregnant anymore, careful precautions must be taken after giving birth. Please check with your doctor prior to booking with us.
- If there were complications during delivery, you need to be cleared by your doctor to receive massage.
- If C-section was performed, speak to your doctor about Manual Lymphatic Drainage to help with recovery.
After your massage session
What's next?
- Discuss with your therapist next steps to follow and/or recommendations according to your condition and goals for how often to continue treatment.
- Drink water! why? Because during a massage, fluids are being pumped out of the soft tissue and into your circulatory system and then flushed out when you urine (reason why it is so common to pee right after a session). By replenishing the lost fluid, you will stay hydrated and prevent symptoms such as headaches and loss of balance (caused by dehydration). In addition, drinking plenty of water will help your kidneys eliminate the waste your body couldn't circulate on its own. We recommend bringing your own water bottle.
- To show appreciation to your therapist you may leave a tip in Cash or using Venmo (envelopes & QR code found at the lobby).
- And lastly, book your follow-up appointment to keep up with the recommended treatment and body maintenance. Booking ahead is highly recommended as we tend to get booked. Or you may sign up to our waitlist.
