What To Expect During A Massage Or Bodywork Session
Your session will take place in a comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. After the therapist has left the room, undress to your comfort level, remove all jewelry and lie down on the table under the sheet. You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
The therapist will knock before re-entering the room. Lotion, oil or cream will be used to permit your muscles to be worked on without causing excessive friction to the skin. Please make sure to alert the therapist of any skin allergies before your session begins.
In general, your session may start with rocking and broad, flowing strokes which help to calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased. You should communicate immediately if you feel any discomfort.
One of the main goals of massage is to assist you in relaxing. Feel free to ask the therapist questions about what's taking place in the massage, but try to close your eyes, relax and enjoy the peaceful serenity of the session.
