Your First Massage. What Can You Expect?

The first appointment generally begins with the therapist asking what prompted you to get a massage, your current physical condition, medical history, lifestyle, stress level and painful areas. The massage therapist may ask you about your health goals and what you hope the massage will do to help you achieve those goals.

For a full-body massage, you will be asked to remove clothing up to your level of comfort. Undressing takes place in private, and a sheet is provided for draping. The therapist will undrape only the part of your body being massaged, insuring your modesty at all times. Your massage will take place in a comfortable atmosphere and on a cushioned table. You should expect a peaceful, relaxing experience.
