What Does A Massage Feel Like?
If you've never experienced a massage before, it begins with a variety of warm-up strokes to help calm the nervous system and relax surface muscle tension. As the body becomes relaxed, the pressure is gradually increased to relieve areas of muscular tension. Regardless of your massage experience, it is imperative that you communicate if you feel any discomfort so adjustments to the level of pressure can be made immediately.
How do I know which session to choose?
The average full-body session lasts 60-minutes. A 20 to 30-minute session allows time for a chair massage or regional work. A 90-minute session is an indulgence. If you are not sure what type of session, contact the office for help deciding.
What Should I Do During the Session?
Prior to the session, address any questions/concerns. During the session, allow yourself to relax. Most clients close their eyes and completely relax.
