A typical massage will last one hour. However, on the first visit, the massage therapist will take a brief medical history and postural analysis. So you will need to allow a little extra time. In order to better receive the massage you will be asked to undress in private and lie on the table under a sheet. Only the part of the body being worked on will be uncovered and your modesty is always respected.
Feedback about the actual massage is encouraged. If something feels good, too painful, or you want additional work done on certain areas please let the therapist know.
Close your eyes, breathe deeply and allow your body to become heavy and sink into the table and ENJOY!
The time between treatments varies for the individual. For an acute condition once per week may be appropriate. For health maintenance or preventative measures, once every two weeks or monthly is usually very effective.
