FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MASSAGE:

What do I wear during a massage?
There are two types of massage, and each would have different answers. During a chair massage, typically a shorter 10-15 minute massage for the busy professional, you would just wear whatever clothes you come in with. There are no oils used in this type of massage, so this is something that can be done mid-day. The other type of massage, table massage, is done on a massage table. The attire is determined by the client based on their comfort level. The only areas ever exposed are the areas that are being concentrated on.

Does it hurt?
Typically no. The day after your massage you may feel some soreness because your muscles are being manipulated, similar to working out. It is always best to drink a lot of water after receiving a massage to help relieve the soreness and flush out any toxins. To help avoid excessive soreness, communicate with your massage therapist about the amount of pressure that you feel comfortable with.

How often should I get a massage?
That would depend on the reason you need a massage. If you are getting a massage for rehabilitative or therapeutic reasons, you should discuss this with your massage therapist. The two of you may decide that 2-3 times a week is necessary, or maybe just every other week. If you are getting a massage for stress relief or relaxation purposes, then you can choose to come as often as you'd like!

Do you take insurance?
While insurance does cover massage therapy in certain situations, such as a car accident or other no fault accident, it depends solely on your insurance carrier. Check with your provider to see if you are covered.
