Some Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I want a massage, but what’s the difference between techniques?
A: Massage techniques like Swedish and Neuromuscular Massages are used for smoothing away knots, increase circulation, and relax tension areas. A relaxation massage, like Esalen, may have deeper tissue massage incorporated into it to relief knots, but is intended to soothe and deeply relax the body. Keep in mind that you don’t need to know about the techniques used to get a good massage. Every massage will be customized just for you, so feel free to discuss what you’d like your massage to feel like and accomplish with your massage therapist.
Q: Is there a certain type of clothing I should wear for massage?
A: No, the Massage Therapist will be working over the clothes for a chair massage. When getting a massage on a massage table, massage is best done in the nude or with undergarments on. Your Massage Therapist is trained to drape sheets discreetly over areas not involved in the massage to protect your privacy at all times. Always only undress to your comfort level and discuss any concerns with your Massage Therapist.
Q: Does massage hurt?
A: If you are getting massage because you have a muscular issue (Strain, headache, tendonitis, etc…) massage over that area will probably be uncomfortable at first because it is already sore. If you experience pain during your massage, please be sure to say so to your massage therapist so that he or she can adjust either pressure or technique.
Q: Who will be doing my massage?
A: All of our Therapists are specially trained and certified. We abide by the ABMP (Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals) Code of Ethics. Feel free to discuss any special needs or preferences when making your appointment so that we can match you with an appropriate Therapist.
