General
A: We have every client fill out a health history form and review your past injuries, surgeries and accidents. We’re here to help facilitate your health so we encourage an open dialogue with you to ensure you’re receiving the right amount of pressure in the areas most needed. Sometimes those areas are not the areas you feel discomfort. We also educate you on your areas of tightness, range of motion and provide an overview of your care after the session.
A: Wear comfortable clothing to your session. We use lotions instead of oils to limit the amount of oil on your skin. We leave the room and ask that you undress to your level of comfort before getting under the sheets. During the session, we always drape/cover our clients to provide a high level of privacy.
A: Beginning with your scheduled session start time, your session will include 50 or 80 minutes of work, depending on the session length you purchase.
