The elderly can also benefit from massage, as it can enhance circulation and flexibility. Anyone can feel the need for a massage at one time or another.

Massage has been proven beneficial to many chronic conditions such as low back pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis. It is an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs. Regular massage therapy can reduce pain, raise your energy level, and get rid of stress.

To make your visit more comfortable and less intimidating we have taken the time to answer some commonly asked questions.

Who will perform my massage?
A trained professional who has received proper training in a variety of massage techniques, communication skills, and ethics.  Most of our therapists are Nationally Certified and all belong to a professional organization that requires continuing education requirements.

Where will my massage take place?
In a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music will be played to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for comfort during your massage.

Will I be completely undressed?
Traditionally massage is performed with the client wearing only underwear/briefs; however you may decide what to wear for your own comfort The therapist will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a sheet. You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

How long will the session last?
The average full-body massage lasts approximately one hour, A half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage to focus on specific sites. Many people prefer one hour to one and a half-hour session for optimal relaxation.

How will I feel after the massage?
Most people are very relaxed. Some people experience increased energy and heightened awareness. Soreness can follow your massage session. It is recommended that you drink plenty of water following your session, since toxins are released from your soft tissues during your massage.

Are there medical conditions that would make massage inadvisable?
Yes. That's why it is imperative that you inform the therapist of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive written approval from your doctor.
If you have any questions or concerns that have not been addressed, please feel free to speak with your therapist prior to your session.

Please note: Massage Therapy releases toxins that build up in muscle tissue. We recommend drinking plenty of water after your session to flush these toxins out of your body.
