What should I expect during my first visit?
Before the session starts, you will have to fill out a confidential health history form and discuss the
goals for the massage. After the assessment, you will be left alone in the room to undress to your
comfort level. When you are ready, your therapist will knock before entering. Once in the room, the
therapist will begin the massage. When the massage is over, your therapist will leave the room for
you to re-dress in private.

Do I have to be completely undressed during a massage?
You only have to undress to your comfort level. Most people get completely undressed. However, if
you are more comfortable leaving your underwear on, that is completely fine. You will be on the
massage table with sheets covering you at all times. Only the part of your body being worked on will
be uncovered by the sheet.

Does massage therapy hurt?
This depends on the type of massage and the particular physical issues you may have. Sometimes
working with an injured area might be painful, but even that should be within a good tolerance level.
It is very important for you to let your therapist know if they are using too much pressure or not
enough. Communication is the key to receiving the best

What if I am ticklish during a massage?
When working on people who are ticklish, the pressure is adjusted so that you won’t feel tickled. If
there are any areas that are too ticklish, then the therapist will simply move on to the next body part.

What do I wear to a massage therapy session?
Wear whatever you are comfortable in. Most people come in wearing loose clothing such as gym
shorts and a t-shirt. Some people that come straight from work like to bring a change of clothes for
after the massage, but it’s not necessary. If you have long hair, you can bring a hair tie to make it
easier for your therapist to work around your neck and upper back.

When should I not get a massage?
You should not book a massage if you have a fever, cold/flu, or any kind of contagious skin infection.
There are many other conditions in which your therapist may need to be aware of and/ or avoid an
area completely (open wounds or burns). In some cases you would need to get an approval from
your physician before you receive the massage (cancer, certain heart conditions, pregnancy). This
doesn’t mean you can’t receive a massage, but it’s always better to be on the safe side.

Is there anything I need to do before receiving a massage?
Make sure to drink plenty of water before and after your session. During a massage, circulation
increases and toxins are released from the muscles and soft tissue. Water helps flush out these
toxins and keeps your hydrated. Also when possible, please shower before a massage. Not only is it
good hygiene, it is good manners.
