What should I expect during my first massage therapy visit?
Arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out a required health history form. You will be asked general questions to establish areas you would like worked on, if there are any conditions to be addressed, and to determine if massage is appropriate for you. You may be asked to perform certain, simple assessments and testing to evaluate your condition.
What do I wear during the massage?
You may or may not need to undress. For a full body massage, most people undress completely. However, you may choose to wear underwear. You will be given privacy before and after the session. During the session you will be covered with a sheet at all times except the area being worked on.
What do I do during a massage therapy treatment?
Make yourself comfortable. If your therapist wants you to adjust your position, she will move you or will ask you to move. Otherwise, change your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session. Do not hesitate to ask questions at any time.
