The Therapist Will Assess Your Massage Needs
After introducing themselves, your practitioner will ask why you are seeking massage therapy, and inquire about any injuries or medical conditions you may have. They may also ask additional questions to gather information that can help improve your overall experience. Be honest with your practitioner – their role is to ensure that you have the most pleasant and successful session possible.

Let Your Therapist Know What You’re Feeling
The massage therapist will then excuse themselves so that you can disrobe to your level of comfort. You will then get on the table – either face up or face down – under the sheet. During your session, you will be draped (covered) at all times, and only the area being worked on will be exposed. A typical full body session includes your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, shoulders, and abdomen. You may request that a therapist spend additional or less time on a specific area. Oil or lotion is often used, so be sure to tell the practitioner if you have any preferences or sensitivities.
During the massage, please make sure to communicate with your therapist about the pressure he or she is applying. Though many massage therapists can tell when they are using light or deep pressure, it is always good to let them know how you feel. If you want more or less pressure, be sure to communicate that—the massage is all about you!
When your massage session is complete, the practitioner will leave the room so that you can get dressed. Sit up slowly and take your time getting dressed.

Plan Your After Care
Make sure to drink plenty of water.
After your dressed and ready to go we will discuss the session briefly to check in with you to see how you are doing. The massage therapist may suggest things you can do at home. Lastly, you can book your next session according to your practitioner’s recommendation.

Should I tip my massage therapist?
Tips are not expected, but always appreciated.
