F.A.Q.
What is therapeutic massage?
Therapeutic massage is a treatment-focused form of massage designed to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, improve mobility, and support overall physical and mental well-being. It may include techniques such as deep tissue, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and Swedish massage.
What conditions can therapeutic massage help with?
Therapeutic massage may help with:
Chronic pain (back, neck, shoulders),
Muscle tension and stiffness,
Headaches and migraines,
Stress and anxiety,
Sports or overuse injuries,
Limited range of motion,
Postural issues,
Pre and Post Natal discomforts, and more
Do I need a doctor’s referral?
No referral is needed but in some cases you may need to be cleared before you receive a massage.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your first visit usually includes:
A brief health intake and discussion of concerns
Assessment of muscle tension and mobility
A customized massage treatment
Post-session recommendations for self-care or follow-up
Will the massage hurt?
Therapeutic massage may involve deeper pressure than relaxation massage. Some discomfort can occur when working on tight muscles, but it should never be excessively painful. Always communicate your comfort level with your therapist.
How long are sessions?
Common session lengths include:
30 minutes (targeted areas)
60 minutes (standard full-body or focused work)
90 minutes (extended therapeutic treatment)
How often should I get a therapeutic massage??
Frequency depends on your condition and goals:
Acute pain or injury: 1–2 times per week
General maintenance: every 2–4 weeks
Stress relief: as needed
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing. You will be properly draped with sheets or towels during the session, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered.
Are therapeutic massage services covered by insurance??
Currently I do not accept insurance
Are there any reasons I should avoid massage??
Massage may not be recommended if you have:
Fever or contagious illness
Blood clots or severe cardiovascular conditions
Recent surgery or acute injuries (without clearance)
Certain skin conditions or infections
Always inform your therapist of any medical conditions.
Can I talk during my session?
Yes. You are encouraged to communicate about pressure, comfort, or any concerns. Some clients prefer silence, while others like conversation—it’s entirely up to you.
Do you offer prenatal massage?
Yes, please consult your doctor before booking a massage.
