1st time massage appointments FAQ's:
1. What are the benefits of massage?
- Helps to improve and increase systemic circulation throughout the body
- Helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells
- Increases lymphatic flow that helps to remove toxins from the body
- Increases venous flow towards the heart
- Reduces stress by relaxing muscles
- Stimulates
the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the nervous system
responsible for bringing the body to a state of relaxation
- Increases
serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain, hormones responsible for
regulating moods i.e. great for alleviating depression
- Increases range of motion in joints
2. When is massage contraindicated?
Under the NYS law, massage should not be performed during:*high fever as
it can exacerbate the condition *a cause of pain whether locally or
throughout the body is unknown *areas of recent strains or sprains *consumption of heavy alcohol or drug abuse *first trimester of pregnancy *areas of DVT or thrombosis
3. How should I prepare for a session?
In preparation for the session, it is recommended that you do not
arrive on an empty stomach nor should you have a meal immediately
before your massage. A good measure is to have your meal at least 1-1/2
hour to 2 hours before the session to allow for proper digestion. It is
also encouraged that you arrive at least 15 minutes before the session
to allow for any questions or concerns to be discussed. This also
allows for you to enjoy to the full 60 minutes of the hands-on portion
of the session.
4. What should I expect in a session?
During a full-body massage session, professional massage cream/oil is
used on the unclothed body. Underwear is optional, You will be lying
between sheets and properly draped for warmth, comfort, and privacy in
accordance of the NYS law. However, in a full cranio-sacral, lymphatic balancing, or reflexology
session, you may remained fully clothed.
5. What is the protocol on gratuity/tipping?
Gratuity is optional, however, if client is inclined to give a tip in
addition to the cost of the session, the client may give any additional
amount desired, at least 15-20% of the cost of the massage is adequate.
6. Why is it recommended to drink water after a session? How much water should I drink?
During the massage, particularly after deep tissue work, when
accumulated toxins have been released, water will help to facilitate
the flushing out of toxins as well as hydrate the body. The recommended
amount of water varies from person to person as everyone's body weight
and mass differs. However, after a massage session, it is encouraged to
consume more water than usual to encourage continued detoxification and
lubrication for your internal body.
7. Is it normal to feel sore the next day after massage, particularly after deep tissue work?
It is quite normal to feel sore in the area in which deeper focused
technique was applied to during the session. The soreness is due to
sustained pressure to the deeper tissue layers which assists in the
break up and release of toxins and allows for blood, oxygen, and
nutrients to better circulate and flow through the area that was
restricted. However, I try to deter that effect with the usage of
Arnica blended oil.
