Massage Benefits:
Does stress, pain or restricted movement keep you from activities? Sports injuries, household work, repetitive use syndrome, and tension from everyday stresses can all cause problems that take up permanent residences in our bodies.
Massage can help. Massage is a gentle therapy that works with the soft tissues to increase circulation to your muscles. Massage removes metabolic waste from the muscle, promoting healing and increasing range of motion.
What to expect with your first appointment:
Todd will review your medical history, your current lifestyle, physical condition and stress level. Some medical conditions are contra indicated for massage or need your medical doctor’s approval.
Draping is provided and the therapist undrapes only the area being massaged, insuring modesty at all times. You may choose to wear undergarments or a swim suit or nothing at all. This is YOUR massage and you should feel as comfortable as possible.
During your massage the therapist will ask for feedback as to pressure (deeper or lighter) or as to painful areas on your body.
Feel free to ask your therapist any questions about their procedure. Your therapist is a highly trained professional and will be happy to make you feel well informed and comfortable.
