Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE FIRST APPOINTMENT LIKE?
Your massage will take place on a table especially designed
for stability and comfort. Your massage therapist may offer
cushions or an adjustable face rest for support. The room
will be warm and quiet, often with soft music to set a relaxing
mood. Your massage therapist will begin by asking some general
health questions since there are some conditions for which
massage is not appropriate. Your massage therapist will
then leave the room while you undress and relax onto the
table, covering yourself with a fresh sheet. For a full
body massage, most people undress completely, though you
may choose to wear underwear. You are warmly draped at all
times except for the area being worked on. Your massage
therapist will usually use a lubricant, such as light oil
or lotion, which is good for your skin. For some kinds of
massage no oil is used and you remain clothed (i.e. shiatsu
and thai yoga massage). A massage usually begins with a
light steady touch, followed by broad, flowing strokes.
This starts calming your nervous system and releasing tension
in superficial muscles. Gradually, as your body becomes
ready, your massage therapist works more deeply to relax
specific areas.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN A MASSAGE?
Make yourself comfortable. If your massage therapist wants
you to adjust your position, he or she will either move
you (for instance lift your arm) or will tell you what is
needed. Otherwise, change your position anytime to make
yourself more comfortable. Many people just closer their
eyes and relax completely during a massage. Others prefer
to talk. It's your massage, and whatever feels natural to
you is certainly the best way to relax. Do not hesitate
to ask questions about what your massage therapist is doing,
or about massage in general.
WILL A MASSAGE EVER HURT?
Massage on healthy tissue feels good, and the saying "no
pain, no gain" is not true for massage. The most effective
and deepest massage works with the body's natural responses,
rather than against them. Always tell your massage therapist
if you feel any discomfort so she or he can adjust your
treatment to the right level. Massage to treat a painful
injury may at first cause some discomfort, which usually
lessens noticeably in the first few minutes. Your massage
therapist knows ways to minimize pain, and will work carefully
within what feels right to you.
WILL A MASSAGE TICKLE?
Ticklish people are often surprised that massage does not
tickle. The touch in a massage is completely different from
tickling. The intent is relaxation, the pressure gentle,
but firm. In addition, your massage therapist chooses strokes
that gradually accustom you to the touch involved. If you
are extremely ticklish, tell your therapist so he or she
can work carefully, or avoid your areas of sensitivity altogether.
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER A MASSAGE?
After a massage, most people feel very relaxed. Many experience
freedom from aches and pains that have built up from months
of tension or repetitive activity in their daily life. After
an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience
an increase in energy that can last for several days. Sometimes
the immediate effects of your massage may seem mild. Watch
for further change over the following days, such as pain
relief, increased mobility, or reduced stress.
