WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT

You may be asked several questions to enable our massage therapist to give you the most effective care available to you. These questions and tests are very important as the massage therapist needs to know pertinent information so that she/he may treat you properly.

Some questions you may be asked are:

Personal and family medical history

What prompted you to get a massage (pain, sleeplessness, stress etc.)

Major illnesses you have previously had

Previous surgeries or operations

Any medication you may be taking

Your diet and exercise

Work and leisure activities

Sleeping habits

Some tests that may be performed are:

Blood pressure, breathing and pulse

Reflexes

Muscle strength, flexibility and coordination

Your clothing may need to be removed to allow the maximum effect treatments. However, the removal of the clothing is completely at your discretion and your massage therapist will respect that. It is extremely important that you feel very comfortable in and during the treatments. Treatment can be done without removal of clothing. If you do so chose to remove the clothing your massage therapist is required to drape you with a sheet. Only the portion of your body that will be massaged is uncovered. Please be sure to discuss the most effective treatment that would best suit your needs.
