Questions & Answers
What should I wear during a massage treatment?
For a full body massage, most people choose to undress completely or leave only their underwear on. Your therapist will give you privacy to undress. Once you are undressed you can slip under the blanket provided and special draping will ensure you are covered at all times.

What do I do during a treatment?
Make yourself comfortable. If you need to be moved, your therapist will adjust you. Many people close their eyes and relax, while others prefer to talk. Always feel free to ask questions or let your therapist know if you need a deeper or lighter massage.

How will I feel after the massage treatment?

Most people feel relaxed and sometimes a bit sleepy; others experience immediate relief from long-term aches and pains.
After a deep tissue massage, the body will often feel as if it has had a challenging workout. This stiffness will pass and the muscles will benefit greatly.

Is there anything I should do after a massage?

Since toxins are released from your soft tissue during a massage, it is very important to drink lots of water to flush out these toxins. Some stiffness may occur after a massage, do not let this discourage you, it is only the muscles releasing the excess lactic acid. To help to prevent this it is also advised to try to stretch the body afterwards. Doing so will help to keep the muscles from tightening up which will prolong and increase the positive effects of the massage.
