Be on time. If you arrive in a frenzied rushed state, it will take longer to relax.

During the Massage session, speak up if you have any feedback on the amount of pressure, room temperature, music volume or lighting.

Breathing helps facilitate relaxation. People often stop breathing when they feel anxious or a sensitive area is massaged. If you realize this is happening, remind yourself to breathe.

If your are dizzy or light headed after the massage, do not get off the table too fast.

Drink extra water after the massage.

Remember, the massage has it's greatest benefits over time. The therapeutic effects of massage are cumulative, so the more often a person gets a massage, the better he or she will feel and the more quickly ones body will respond. If you are getting a massage to address chronic muscular tension or recovery from a soft tissue injury, more than one session is usually needed, so be prepared to schedule several sessions.

Any client who has severe diabetes, high blood pressure, skin rashes, lesions or is more than 8 weeks pregnant must provide written authorizations from their primary care provider prior to making an appointment.
