What to Expect
If this is your first massage, here is what to expect on your first appointment. No surprises.
Before Your First Appointment
We will send you your new patient forms to fill out from the comfort of your home. It’s important to fill these out as best you can, with as much detail as you wish.Bring the form in or, send us back a digital copy and will have it ready for you when you get here. This will save you time in the office.
Water is always recommended. Make sure you hydrate the day of your massage.
Avoid perfumes and heavy lotions on the day of your massage.
Arrive 10 minutes before your massage so you can relax, have a cup of tea and get familiar with your environment.
When You Arrive
You’ll be greeted by one of our clinical assistants. When your therapist is ready, they will introduce you and you will be guided back to the massage room.
When in the room your massage therapist will discuss your health history, any physical complaints and the style of massage you prefer.
The massage therapist will then leave the room and allow you to disrobe. Once you are ready you can lay face down on the table and drape the sheets over you. Depending on your comfort level, you can receive a effective massage with whatever amount of clothing or draping you prefer. Many people leave on their undergarments while others are comfortable removing all the clothing. It is 100% up to you. If you choose any level of clothing, we would advise that it would be loose fitting so as not to restrict your treatment.
Again cover yourself with the linens provided and the therapist will knock on the door prior to entry
Let’s get started.
The majority of the massage will take place with you under the linens, with the affected area being exposed and treated.
Remember, you are in control. The therapist will ask you throughout the massage about the pressure and how the massage feels. At any point during the massage if the pressure is too much, or you would like more, simply let the therapist now.
Atmosphere also plays a large part of the massage experience. If you would like light conversation, music or silence – these are all things that you can request ahead of time or during your massage.
At the end of the massage, the therapist will follow up and let you know which areas were most in need of treatment. They will also make future recommendations and if you also would require a treatment plan. We will also make any recommendations for your home, stretches or exercises that will help you maximize your care.
At the end of the massage, they will bring up to reception and schedule your next appointment
After the Massage
Expect to feel your body. After a massage you will have a new level of awareness of your body. Some areas have been woken up, some have been flushed out, some tissues have had some deep work applied. What ever your massage involved you will notice that changes have increased awareness to the treated area. Your therapist may recommend that you apply ice, heat, stretch or just relax. this will depend on the treatment process.
If you have insurance coverage we will provide you with a receipt after your massage.
