| Q:
WHAT IS A MASSAGE LIKE? |
 |
It's surprising how many
people haven't tried this enjoyable and healthful experience.
Massage releases chronic tension and pain in muscles,
improves circulation, increases flexibility in the joints,
and reduces mental and physical fatigue. In addition,
massage is one of the most effective means available
to combat stress.
|
|
| Q:
WHO WILL GIVE ME MY MASSAGE? |
|
|
Your massage is given to you by a
well trained and licensed massage therapist.
|
|
| Q:
WHAT IS TIME FIRST APPOINTMENT LIKE? |
|
Your massage therapist will begin by
asking some general health questions since there are
some conditions for which massage is not appropriate.
Your massage therapist will then leave the room while
you undress and relax onto the table, covering yourself
with a fresh sheet.
Your massage will take  place
on a table especially designed for stability and comfort.
Your massage therapist may offer cushions or an adjustable
face rest for support. The room will be warm and quiet,
with soft music to set a relaxing mood.
For a full body massage, most people undress completely,
though you may choose to wear underwear. You are warmly
draped at all times, except for the area being worked
on.
Your massage therapist will usually use a lubricant,
such as light oil or lotion, which is good for your
skin and absorbs well. For some kinds of massage, no
oil is used and you remain clothed.
A massage usually begins with a light steady touch,
followed by broad, flowing strokes. This starts calming
your nervous system and releasing tension in your superficial
muscles. Gradually, as your body becomes ready, your
massage therapist works more deeply to relax specific
areas.
|
|
| Q:
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN A MASSAGE? |
|
Make yourself comfortable.
If your massage therapist wants you to adjust your position,
he or she will either move you (for instance lift your
arm) or will tell you what is neetled. Otherwise, change
your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable.
Many people just close their eyes and relax completely
during a massage. Others prefer to talk. It's your massage,
and whatever feels natural to you is certainly the best
way to relax. Do not hesitate to ask questions about
what your massage therapist is doing, or about massage
in general.
The desire to sigh or take a deep breath is a sign that
you are relaxing. In fact, deep natural breaths can
actually help you relax.
|
|
| Q:
WILL A MASSAGE EVER HURT? |
|
Massage on healthy issue feels good,
and the saying "no pain, no gain" is not true
for massage. The most effective and the deepest massage
works with the body's natural responses, rather than
against them. Always tell your massage therapist if
you feel any discomfort so she or he can adjust to a
more appropriate level.
Massage used to address a painful injury may at first
cause some discomfort, which usually lessens noticeably
in the first few minutes. Your massage therapist knows
ways to minimize pain, and will work carefully within
what feels right to you.
|
|
| Q:
WILL A MASSAGE TICKLE? |
|
Ticklish people are often surprised that
massage does not tickle. The touch in a massage is completely
different from tickling. The intent is relaxation, the
pressure gentle but firm. In addition, your massage
therapist chooses strokes that gradually accustom you
to the touch involved,
If you are extremely ticklish,
tell your therapist so be or she can work carefully,
or avoid your areas of sensitivity altogether. Being
ticklish is an indication of hypertension.
|
|
| Q:
HOW LONG IS A MASSAGE? |
|
A half-hour
can be an excellent introduction to massage, with plenty
of time for a partial massage, such as back, neck and
shoulders or legs and feet.
One hour is a common length
for a massage. This is enough time for a deeply relaxing
full body massage, or more in-depth work on a particular
area, for instance back, neck and shoulders.
One and a half hours is enough
time for a full body massage along with special attention
to a problem area.
|
|
| Q:
WHAT DO I DO AFTER THE MASSAGE? |
|
When your massage is finished, your massage
therapist will leave the room while you dress. Be aware
that massage can be profoundly relaxing, and it affects
all of your body's systems. Give yourself a moment to
reorient before slowly getting up from the table. You
can ground yourself in the meditation
room and rehydrate the body.
|
|
| Q:
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER MY MASSAGE? |
|
After a massage, most people feel very
relaxed. Many experience freedom from aches and pains
that have built up from months of tension or repetitive
activity in their daily life. After an initial period
of feeling slowed down, people often experience an increase
in energy that can last for several days.
Sometimes the immediate effects of your massage may
seem mild. Watch for further change over the following
clays, such as pain relief, increased mobility, or reduced
stress.
|
|
| Q:
HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE? |
|
You may still have questions, even after
reading all of these Q&As. It's your body, and you
are right to be curious and careful. Our massage therapists
will be happy to discuss your questions over the phone,
or in person, or use our Contact
Form before you book an appointment. When you are
ready, the best answers will come from experiencing
a massage first hand. Enjoy it in good health!
