Our massage table is very
comfortably padded, completely supportive and stable. It is
capable of holding up to 1400lbs. We use high quality flannel
sheets and the massage room is kept warm for your comfort.
Quiet, soothing Music will be played unless you request silence.
If there is particular music you would like please feel free to
request it or bring your own. We also have a white noise
machine with several selections of sounds if you prefer that.
We strive to keep our massage room very private, quiet, relaxing and
comfortable.
The massage
lotion we use is of the highest quality, unscented and
hypo-allergenic. Several essential fragrance oils are
available and can be added to enhance your massage experience.
The technique we use is referred to as
Deep
Tissue Massage. For this type of therapeutic massage you will
need to disrobe. You will be given privacy to disrobe and get under
the covers on the table. Be confident you will be properly draped
for modesty at all times. Your massage therapist will only
undrape each section of the body as it is being worked on. If
you are at all uncomfortable with the thought of being unclothed
please discuss this with your massage therapist. You should
only undress to your comfort level so you can be totally relaxed.
Warmth is very important to
help your muscles relax. Therapeutic Massage will temporarily
lower your body temperature. This is one of the many benefits
of massage therapy. During your massage your heart rate
slows and your blood pressure lowers. We keep our
massage room temperature quite warm for your comfort. If you
are uncomfortable with the temperature of the room please
communicate that to your massage therapist.
When you arrive for your massage therapy session, your massage therapist will fill out a massage client intake form with you.
This is a simple form that will provide your massage therapist with important information such as chronic medical conditions or medications you are taking,
or if you have any allergies or are ticklish. When the form is completed you will be taken to the massage therapy room.
Once you are 'on the table' try to relax
completely. Breathe deeply and become a 'rag doll'.
Allow your massage therapist to move your limbs freely. Always
communicate any discomfort.
If emotions surface during your massage session
please understand this is normal for some people and we understand.
Allow your emotions to be present and try not to fight the emotional
release.
If you would
like to 'chat' during your massage please feel free to do so but do
not feel you have to carry on a conversation. This is
your time and we want your experience to be as individualized
and pleasant as possible. If you prefer silence we understand
and will respect your wishes.
Your massage session will last about one hour
and will begin with you lying on your back on the massage table.
You will be completely covered and have a pillow placed under your
knees for comfort. The room will be darkened to help you
relax.
Your therapeutic massage session will proceed as
follows:
- Face and Scalp
- Neck and Tops of Shoulders
- Hands, Arms, Front and Back of shoulders
- Bottom and Top of Feet, Front of Legs
The Massage Therapist
will then place a face rest at the top of the table, slide the
pillow to your ankles and hold the blanket so you can turn over
onto your stomach. When you roll over be confident that
you will be completely shielded by the blanket. Your
Massage therapist will instruct you to move forward slightly as
you turn over so can place your face in the rest. The face
rest allows you to keep your face down and helps to relax your
neck. An Arm rest will also be available. Pillow
placement will be checked to be certain it is under the front of
your ankles so your knees are comfortable and slightly bent.
- Calves, Backs of legs, Outer Buttocks
- Back, Top of Buttocks
When your massage session is
completed the massage therapist will make sure you are completely
covered and comfortable. The therapist will leave the
room to allow you some time to relax and get dressed. When you
are ready, meet the therapist back at the front desk where you can
settle your bill and make your next appointment. You should
discuss how you feel or if you have any concerns. Your
therapist may also have feedback for you in regard to muscular
tension or imbalances they had found during the massage.
