What should I expect from my Massage Therapy Visit?
Your average appointment starts from filling out a medical case history form. It helps establish your health level and ensure there are no contraindications to massage therapy.
Next comes an interview/assessment by your massage therapist. He/she can better understand your individual health needs. Following the assessment, your therapist will leave the room. You then disrobe and get into position on the massage table. You will be covered by a sheet or a gown will be provided.
The therapist will re-enter the room and start treatment. When he/she is finished, he/she will leave the room again allowing you privacy to dress.
Once you are dressed the therapist will meet with you again. He/she will discuss the treatment. Necessary exercises such as stretches and strengthening may be given according to your conditions.
