FAQs
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask about accreditation and experience. Consult with the therapist before booking an appointment. Communicate clearly. Express your concerns and questions. A good therapist begins and ends sessions with informational chats about your experience and developments. First time clients should be educated in what to expect and interviewed about medical and massage history, personal needs, posture, and overall health. Focus on YOUR experience. Therapists have different styles, often combining relaxing and penetrating types of massage. They may integrate methods such as reflexology, unusual positioning, scented oils, chants, cranial massage, gentle joint manipulation, stretching, or acupressure. Choose your ideal combination. Evaluate your physical response. A therapist prepares your body for massage, and guides you in proper positioning. He or she behaves appropriately, makes you comfortable, and treats you professionally. Discontinue therapy if you are uncomfortable in any way or you feel no benefit whatsoever. Return to a therapist that understands and can meet your needs. Discuss treatment options for chronic stress, pain, injuries, or special conditions such as pregnancy or chronic disease treatment. Humans are dynamic and needs usually change with every session and this may include target areas, variations in pressure, or specific music/lighting, etc. Choose a therapist with whom you have "chemistry." It should be someone with a gift for massage, and an intuitive understanding of your body. The right therapist provides a positive and peaceful experience. You should feel the immense benefits of personalized care and progress with regular treatment.
