Frequently Asked Questions About Massage Therapy
How do I determine which massage is best for me?
Our team is educated about the services we provide, so give us a call and talk to us about what kind of treatment you want. Or what result you are looking to achieve. We’ll offer you our professional advice on the right solution for you.
Will I be sore after a massage?
Certain types of massage cause your muscles to release lactic acid. This could result in temporary soreness immediately or the following day. Not everyone experiences soreness, which is more common with certain types of massage (such as deep tissue). Be sure to drink plenty of water after your massage to flush all the toxins out of your body.
What if I have a specific medical condition?
Please check with your physician before your visit. If your doctor approves, notify us of any special needs or concerns at the time of booking so that we can determine if the treatment you seek poses any possible risk to you. Your safety and comfort are our primary concerns.
