Massage is a 3,000 year old practice for soothing pain and discomfort while improving circulation, reducing stress, and encouraging relaxation.  This is done through the hands-on manipulation of muscles, tissues and joints.  Our professionally trained, certified massage therapists offer a variety of massage techniques, tailor-made to the specific needs of your body.

A professional massage is meant to be a soothing, relaxing experience. **Too many people arrive at 1:30 for a 1:30 massage, when they should be finished with the client intake form and on the table already.** Getting there early is an important tip for enjoying your massage.  But there are plenty more.  Read on ...

Here are some tips adapted from the American Massage Therapy Association to help you enjoy your massage.

* Be receptive. Don't eat just before a massage session.

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

* If you don't want to remove all your clothing, that's okay. Wear what you will be comfortable in that will allow the therapist to work on the areas of your body that need it. If you do choose to undress completely, rest assured that you will be properly draped at all times during the massage.

* Good communication is very important.  Before the session, give accurate health information and let the massage therapist know what you want from the massage.  During the massage session, it's okay to speak up if you have any feedback on the amount of pressure, speed of movement, room temperature, music volume, or lighting.

* Some people like to talk during a massage session, while others remain silent. In general you should do whatever you feel like, and the massage therapist will follow your lead.

* Breathing helps to 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 breath.

* Try not to tighten up during the massage.  Let your massage therapist know if this is happening.  They may need to adjust the massage technique being used.  They may also be able to help you relax the affected area.

* If you find your thoughts are racing during the massage, one way to be more "body-centered" and to quiet the mind is to follow the hands of the massage therapist and focus on how the touch feels.

* If anything happens during the massage that you dislike or seems improper, you have the right to ask the massage therapist to stop.  If necessary, you also have the right to end the session.

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

* Drink extra water after a massage.

* Allow for some open, quiet time after your massage session if possible. Sometimes one needs a little time to integrate or absorb the results of the massage session or needs some "re-entry" time.

Remember, massage has its 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 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.
