What is medical massage?
A medical massage is a goal-oriented, outcome-based therapy focused on treating specific medical conditions like chronic pain and injuries using targeted techniques such as deep tissue, or trigger point therapy to improve function and reduce symptoms, often in conjunction with other medical treatments.
Do I have to completely undress for a massage?
You should undress to your comfort level. Some clients prefer to be completely undressed, while the others prefer to keep their undergarments on. This is completely up to you. You will undress and dress in the privacy of your massage room and will be securely covered by a blanket and a sheet during your massage session.
How often should I get a massage?
For stress relief and relaxation, one massage a month is common. If there are problem areas that need to be addressed due to injury or chronic pain, you may need to be seen weekly. There are many people who incorporate massage therapy at least twice a month for optimal therapeutic relief.
Will I be sore during or after my massage?
Massage does not have to be painful to be effective. I always say that communication is key, if you're experiencing pain or discomfort during your session let me know, the last thing I want to do is make you sore! Also, please let me know if you're feeling too hot or cold as the temperature can always be adjusted.
What type of payments do you accept?
I accept cash, Venmo, and credit cards. I am listed as a medical provider, so I may be able to accept your HSA card, but please check with your provider first.
Do you sell gift cards?
Absolutely! I have physical cards that can be purchased in my office and I sell e-cards on the first page of my website.
