Everyone is different. Once your therapist completes a full assessment, we can develop a treatment plan. We will then provide the amount and frequency of your treatments. Some individuals benefit from 1 massage to get rid of their aches and pains. Others come every week or every month. In the end, your body will be the one deciding when it needs a massage.

These areas include back, head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, glutes, legs, feet and even abdomen.

Most individuals experience an increase of relaxation, sleep and decrease muscle tension. However it is possible to experience a delay onset of muscle soreness after your treatment. If deep tissue work is done there is a chance that you could be sore and have a slight bruising feeling or experience a few bruises. Your therapist will be in full communication with you throughout the massage asking if the pressure is too hard, not enough or just right. Never feel shy to be honest about how the treatment feels, after all we want you to get the best you can out of your massage.

The decision is yours. You can undress to your comfort level leaving on any article of clothing you wish. For example, if you are having your back massaged it is common to only remove your shirt and bra to treat the area. During the treatment you will be fully covered with a table sheet and only the area of your body that is being worked on will be uncovered. Your therapist will leave the room before and after the treatment to allow you to change comfortably.
