A typical spa massage is focused on relaxation, and maybe relieving some pain by working out any knots you have. It has a place for sure and feels good short-term, but can actually be damaging if it’s done too much because muscles that are already lengthened are being loosened even more. Therapists usually use Swedish, deep tissue, and other flowy-relaxing type techniques.

In contrast, a medical massage is designed to correct and heal problem areas for long-term relief. It targets shortened muscles and utilizes various techniques such as trigger point, orthopedic, lymphatic, myofascial release, and more, depending on what’s needed for effective healing. Because medical massage addresses the root cause of issues, clients often experience results that last weeks or even months.

When you schedule your first appointment, you’ll receive a short intake and consent form to complete electronically, ensuring your session starts promptly.

During your first visit, the therapist will often conduct an assessment to understand your structural needs.

On the day of your appointment, you can relax in the waiting area until your therapist arrives. After a brief introduction, you’ll have privacy to get comfortable on the massage table. During the massage, you can choose to chat or enjoy the quiet—just let the therapist know if you’d like any adjustments to the temperature, pressure, or music.

After the session, you’ll be offered water and given privacy to change at your own pace. The therapist will assist with checkout and may recommend a follow-up schedule for the best results.

You may undress to your level of comfort. Many people prefer to keep their underwear on during a massage, while others choose to be nude. The therapist will leave the room so you can undress and lie on the massage table under a top sheet and blanket. Regardless if you choose to maintain some clothing or not, we will ensure that you are always properly covered.

Individual preference varies, for most people it depends on your pain, physical needs, and emotional needs. Receiving a massage regularly has the most benefit; this can be weekly, monthly, or just as often as you feel you would like. 

Some therapists limit massaging the same person  to 90 minutes once a week. There is no reason to have such limits though. There are even many celebrities that hire personal massage therapists and get multiple massages a day with no negative impacts. 

You know your body and what it needs best. However often you would like to and are able to is what is right for you.

In general, no.  If the pressure is too intense, speak up immediately so your therapists can adjust.  Certain techniques may result in soreness during the days following a massage, similar to that of a great workout, or a “good hurt” as a large knot is being released. However, there should not be any sharp or very intense pain.

24 hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

If a cancellation is made with less than 24 hours notice, your appointment will result in a charge of 50% of the scheduled fee. 

A missed appointment with no notice will be charged the full price for that appointment.
