| Facts about massage for the first time client. These are basic facts that not only pertain to Relax a moment massage but to all massages. Modesty: In a typical massage session, except for the body part being worked, you will be covered with a sheet and blanket. You may undress to your level of comfort. Lotions: We will use a massage lotion (except chair massages) so that we may work on your muscles and skin without chaffing or pulling your hair. Please inform us if there is any danger of an allergic reaction. Talking: Keeping conversation to a minimum is best for the most relaxing environment. But, if you prefer a more social interaction that is fine too. Always give the therapist feedback on anything that causes discomfort. Body parts massaged: In a typical one hour massage you will have your face, neck, shoulders, arms, legs and feet done while you are laying face up. While face down we will massage your feet, legs, back, shoulders, neck and head. The time spent on each area and the order of them being done will vary according to the clients needs. Pressure of touch: You decide! Inform the therapist before he/she starts what type of pressure you would like. The therapist will check in with you several times to ask if the pressure is ok. Please tell him/her to adjust their pressure as you see fit. A massage is about catering to the client for an hour so, if its too much or not enough pressure, please tell us. Missed appointments: Please give 24 hours notice if you must cancel an appointment. Afterwards: Drink plenty of water to help remove waste products flushed out during massage. Some soreness may be expected (similar to soreness experienced after exercising). |
