 Even as massage
steadily becomes more accepted as a common part of our
contemporary cultural experience, many people do not get the most
out of massage through lack of knowing a few simple concepts. The
recipient’s only job is to relax as completely as possible. Breathe
deeply as the therapist’s hands locate areas of tension,
consciously trying to let go and relax the areas.
Talk
for the most part, is distracting and unnecessary.
Feel free to give feedback if you would like something done
differently or longer. The therapist may also ask you for feedback
regarding your comfort. Allow your body to become as limp as you
can manage. Do not try to be helpful; rather let yourself be taken
care of.
Allow the
therapist to move your limbs he/she is trained professionally and
knows what to do and will not hurt you.
Close your eyes- Closing your eyes during the massage
experience tends to bring your center of energy out of your head
and into your body.
Here
are a few guidelines to help you feel more at ease and to gain the
greatest benefits from your massage session:
Be
sure to point out any areas of your body, which are injured, tense
or sore. A medical history form will be asked to fill out to
customize your treatment.
Please
take off all jewelry you are comfortable removing.
The
Swedish massage technique we use
involves the application of oil.
Some oil may get in your hair and around the neck.
If this is a problem let, us know before we start. All oil
will be wiped off the body when the massage is completed, unless you
prefer otherwise. Please
let the therapist know
The best way to receive a massage is with the body
completely unclothed. The
therapist is sensitive to the need for privacy and will keep your
body covered with a sheet, except the areas being massaged.
However, you may undress to your level of comfort.
Some people may fall
asleep during a massage, an indication that the body and mind are
releasing stress and tension. If
this should occur, you will be gently awakened when it is time to
turn over or end the massage.
Finally, when
the massage is over you need not get up immediately. Lie still with
your eyes closed, and let yourself absorb whatever you are feeling a
few minutes longer.
Enjoy
your massage!

Hot Stone Massage-
This treatment combines massage with the application
of heated stones over the entire body. The stones are
moved in a continuous fashion and turned in the hands
of the therapist periodically during massage to give
the best heat. The smooth texture of the stone and the
heat provide stress-reducing results. The massage
experience takes on an entirely different feeling
than general massage.
