When should I avoid getting a massage?
In general, there are a few conditions that would prevent you from getting a massage. Of course, do not schedule an appointment if you are feeling unwell, have a fever, cold, or a skin condition that is contagious. The first trimester of pregnancy is generally considered off-limits for massage, as are active chemotherapy or other intensive medical treatments. If you have a serious medical condition and you are unsure if a massage would be safe for you, massage therapists will recommend that you speak with your primary care provider to get approval first.
Do I have to be completely undressed? What do you wear for a massage?
You may undress to your level of comfort. Many people prefer to keep their underwear on during a massage, while others choose to be nude. Your massage therapist will leave the room so you can undress and lie on the massage table in-between the sheets. Regardless if you choose to maintain some clothing or not, your massage therapist will always ensure that you are always properly covered.
How often should I get a massage?
Individual preference varies, so for most it depends on your pain, physical needs, emotional needs, and of course, budget. Receiving a massage regularly has the most benefit; this can be as often as weekly or monthly.
What should I do if I need to cancel my appointment?
If you need to reschedule your appointment, you can contact your massage therapist as soon as possible.
Cancellations without 24 hour notice may result in a charge for your session, as that time has been set aside specifically for you. Review Our Clinic Policies for more information.
