THE INTAKE PROCESS.
Since Massage Therapy is considered Healthcare in most states, you will be asked to complete an Intake Form which includes simple health history.
It is important to let your Massage Therapist know about ANY AND ALL current or past medical conditions, even if you think it's not relevant; some conditions are not compatible with massage. This helps me develop an appropriate treatment pan for you.
THERE ARE NO
"ONE SIZE FITS ALL"
MASSAGE SESSIONS HERE.
My years of experience and training allow me to tailor your treatment to meet your specific needs.
I will have reviewed your ONLINE INTAKE FORM before your appointment time and may have questions to clarify your responses.
Next you will be asked if you have any questions or concerns. It's important to communicate these things before getting on the massage table as they my affect my treatment plan for you
Assessments, such as Muscle Testing, Postural Analysis may be performed to complete your intake where appropriate.
Finally, I will summarize my treatment plan, and introduce to the Treatment Room.
GET READY FOR TREATMENT.
First you will shown where to hang clothes or store folded items. You will then be asked to undress to your level of comfort.
Many clients/patients are nude under the top sheet on the table; othesr leave underwear on. This is about your comfort, not the Massage Therapist’s convenience. I will then leave the Treatment Room to scrub and give you privacy.
When you are ready get on the table as directed (face up, or face down typically) getting under the top sheet, just like getting into bed.
DRAPING
During your treatment, you will always be provided with appropriate draping; that is, only the body part being worked (like a leg) will be uncovered. The American Massage Therapy Association’s draping guidelines and Code of Ethics are strictly observed at all times. You can request a blanket if you get chilly or request to have the Table Warmer turned on or up.
APPROPRIATE TOUCH
MASSAGE THERAPY IS NEVER INTETIONALLY SEXUAL IN NATURE,
However, it does involve fairly intimate touch. Human Touch is needed by everybody, and is the essential tool of the Massage Therapist.
COMMUNICATION IS ESSENTIAL
You may find deeper or lighter pressure more to your liking. It is important to communicate about this.
Should anything cause you to be uncomfortable, let your Massage Therapist know so appropriate adjustment can be quickly made.
THERE'S NO NEED TO RUSH.
Once your treatment is completed, I will let you know that it's time to get up and get dressed.
Time is always built into the scheduling process so that you can go at your own speed. Depending on the type of treatment received you may feel sleepy, light headed, even disoriented. That's normal. So, do not be in a rush; it is not necessary.
Be aware that because massage lowers the blood pressure, you may feel a bit lightheaded or dizzy.
It is a good idea to drink water after massage. Be moderate; over doing it can upset the stomach.
There will usually be some feedback from your Massage Therapist; observations, suggestions for self-care, referrals to other healthcare practitioners, where appropriate.
PAYMENT and TIPPING
Finally you will be asked for payment - cash, check or PayPal are preferred, but credit-debit cards work as well.
Tipping is neither expected nor solicited, though grateful appreciated. Cash gratuities are preferred as credit cards processing fees are incurred otherwise.
SAVE TIME AND EFFORT. AVOID "PHONE TAG."
Check available times and schedule online INSTANTLY.
