Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect on my initial massage visit?

An assessment will be performed to determine the best course of treatment for you. The treatment plan will be discussed with you and suggestions will be made to optimize your massage. The techniques used during each treatment will stretch and loosen connective tissue and muscles. This helps increase joint movement and function, which reduces muscle tension. After the massage, you may be given some suggestions for home care, along with a recommendation for follow-up treatments. If you haven’t completed the online intake form sent in your welcome email, please arrive at the
clinic 15 minutes early to fill out the form.
