Try to schedule appointments when you can continue to relax afterwards and integrate your session.  

When you arrive for your first appointment the therapist will have you complete a client intake form.  It will include general health questions, since there are some conditions for which massage  is not appropriate.  The therapist will discuss the information you give her on the form.

The therapist will step out of the room, allowing you to undress in the privacy of the massage therapy room and then relax onto the table and cover yourself with fresh clean flannel linens. 

The massage table has been especially  designed for stability and comfort.  The room is warm, quiet and soft music plays in the background to help with the relaxation process. 

Most people undress completely, although you may choose to wear your undergarments.  You will be fully draped at all times during the massage, except for the area being worked  on.  The therapist will use a light oil or lotion which is good for the skin and easily absorbed.  

A massage will usually start with lighter touch, gradually increasing pressure to work deeper in more specific area.

Close your eyes, take some relaxing breaths and allow yourself to relax during your massage.  The therapist will move or re-position. your limbs for you if  necessary.  Do not hesitate to ask questions about what the therapist is doing.  Tell your therapist immediately if you feel any discomfort so she can adjust accordingly.  It is important to remember that this is "your massage" and the therapist is there for you. 

A one hour massage is the most popular length for a full body massage.  A half hour massage is often beneficial for spot work. A 90 minute massage can allow additional time for problem areas. The benefits of massage will extend well beyond the actual length of the session. 

When the massage is completed the therapist will leave the room allowing you time to dress.  She will instruct you to get up slowly from the table, because of your relaxed state.  

It is important to drink lots of water after your massage session to help the body remove toxins and waste products.   A warm salt and soda bath can also be very beneficial.  See extending benefits for more helpful hints to help you stay relaxed after your massage.

When scheduling your appointment please inform the therapist is you are pregnant or under a doctor's care for any conditions.
