Must I be completely undressed?

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be covered with a sheet in a full body massage. In a 30 min massage you will undress on the upper half of the body only and be covered with a towel. Your body  will be covered the entire session.

Will I have lotion rubbed on me?

To ensure the smoothness of your therapy, we use massage oils.  If you are allergic to any ingredients that may be in the oil, please let your therapist know ahead of time!

Will the practitioner be present while I disrobe?

No. The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel. The therapist will then knock on the door to make sure you are ready for your massage.

What parts of my body will be massaged?

You and the practitioner will discuss the desired outcome of your session. This will determine which parts of your body require massage.

Should anyone avoid massage?

Massage should be avoided if there is  infection of the superficial veins (called phlebitis) or soft tissue (called cellulites) in the legs or elsewhere, blood clots in the legs, bleeding disorders, and contagious skin conditions. If you have cancer, you must check with your doctor before considering massage because you should not receive such treatments under certain circumstances. For example, sometimes massage can damage tissue that is fragile from chemotherapy or radiation treatments. , eczema and other skin lesions should not receive massage therapy during flare-ups.  Also, be sure to let your massage therapist know any medications you are taking as the treatment may influence absorption or activity of both oral and topical medications.
