FAQs for Massage:
What do I wear in my massage? We recommend you dress down to your personal level of comfort. Our protocol demands the use of professional draping techniques that provide constant and continuous coverage for the undressed body. Only the area being worked on is exposed, with the covering restored before moving on to the next part.
How often should I come in for a massage? This depends on your symptoms and the severity (stiffness, soreness, or lack of mobility). The general rule of thumb is your first month should consist of once weekly for at least 90 minutes, then weekly for 60 minutes (when symptom free) for best results.
Why should I drink a lot of water? Drinking water completes the massage by inviting the acids released during massage to exit the muscles and joints without allowing them to resettle in the tissue, which causes a relapse of stress or pain.
What type of massage should I get? Each massage is designed personally for each client. We use a data sheet and a consultation before each massage that enables the therapist to tailor a program that best suits your needs.
What's your policy on massage for minors? Children under the age of 12 may receive a massage under the following conditions:
-
Parent is present in the room at all times
-
Parent must sign the soap note
-
Children must have on undergarments
Children ages 13 to 17 may receive a massage under the following conditions:
- Parent may waive their presence in the room
- Parent must also sign the soap note
- Children must have on undergarments
What medical conditions might prohibit massage? This question should always be discussed with your health care provider, but here's a short list of general exclusions for massage:
- Major surgery
- Cancer patients
- Pneumonia
- Certain prescription medications must have a doctor's approval
- Any contagious disease
- Pregnancy (massage begins at second trimester)
Can I bring my kids in the room? No, we do not recommend children come to an appointment, but it is a personal decision between each therapist and client. Company policy prohibits any child under the age 12 from being left in the waiting area unattended.
Types of Massage (Book three services, and pay only for two!)
Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage: When harmony is lacking the effect is pain--physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. Illness is a state of tension, which leads to resistance which blocks energy movement. Lomi Lomi helps release this and therefore facilitates the road to healing. On the physical level, through Lomi Lomi, stress and tension are relieved, blood and lymph flow is assisted, and the elimination of wastes and toxins is stimulated. 60 minutes/$60.00
