Guidelines

Before & After Your Massage

Do’s:
1. For your convenience wear garments that allow for easy dress and removal.

NOTE: You will be covered at all times. Only the areas being massaged will be exposed.

2. Bring 6-8 ounces of water for after your treatment.
NOTE: Massage releases toxins and water helps flush the metabolic waste through the lymphatic system. It can also improve blood flow creating more oxygen and nutrients in muscles.

3. For shoulder-length hair or longer, please bring an accessory to place your hair at the top/crown of your head. This keeps it out of the way for the therapist and is more comfortable. A ponytail at the back of the head can be uncomfortable when lying on your back.

Dont’s:

1. No large meals least 2 hours before your massage.

NOTE: Massage can stimulate the digestive system, which may stimulate the bowels.

2. No alcohol for at least 4 hours before a massage.

NOTE: A) Alcohol thins the blood causing bruising easily. B) massage increases circulation hence increasing affects of alcohol.

Preparing for Your Massage

Before your massage, envision stepping into a tranquil space where relaxation and healing await. You'll be greeted by soothing music and a serene ambiance, setting the stage for a rejuvenating experience. As you prepare for your session, consider communicating your preferences and any areas of tension to your therapist. This ensures a personalized approach that targets your specific needs, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

What to expect after your massage?

You may experience some soreness, etc. The body may respond to muscle manipulation by initiating an inflammatory response that causes soreness.

Recommendations

For soreness or pain, place ice for no more than 20 minutes at a time.
For stiffness without swelling, applying heat is recommended

CAUTION: 40 minutes gap in between change in temperature (HOT/COLD).
Don’t forget DRINK LOTS OF WATER to flush system of released toxins.
