Why Massage?

Why Massage, and other Frequently Asked Questions

 

Why get a massage?

Massage is a wonderful way to increase circulation, promote relaxation, and reduce stress.  It can also help you rehabilitate from injury.  Regular massage helps you maintain mobility in your joints and ease of movement in your body.

 

Do I take off all of my clothes?

Many people do, but you should disrobe to your level of comfort. At all times you will be covered with a sheet, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered.

 

How often should I get massage?

In an ideal world, we’d all get a massage every week, but you should receive massage as often as your schedule and lifestyle allow.  It also depends on your reasons for receiving massage.  If we are working therapeutically to restore function to your muscles, more frequent sessions are often recommended.  However if you are receiving massage for relaxation or wellness purposes, your lifestyle will often determine your frequency.

 

What is your cancellation policy?

I appreciate a phone call or email at least 24 hours in advance of the appointment for no fee to be assessed. Within 24 hours, a cancellation fee of $20 is assessed. However, I encourage people to phone in the case of illness, even if it is within 24 hours, and no fee will be assessed, as I do not massage very ill clients.

 

Do you sell gift certificates?

Yes! In any amount. The most commonly purchased gift certificate options are on my Store page.  Other amounts can be obtained by calling or emailing me, or purchasing your gift certificate at my office.  If you have any questions at all, please let me know! 573-639-9303.
