Frequently Asked Questions

Drinking water will assist in flushing toxins from your system and will also assist in keeping your
muscles hydrated (Toxins are impurities that have accumulated in stagnant muscle tissue which
are released while during massage treatments).  
Immediatley following a massage treatment, or within 24 hours of the session, an individual may
experience a degree of tightness and soreness in the areas that have been massage.  This is
completely normal.  If you have not consumed the appropriate amount of water to release your
muscles' toxins, then the toxins may be reabsorbed into the muscle tissue to create these
symptoms. Increase your water intake.  If you should experience any of these post-treatment
symptoms you may apply the following routine:

1. Begin by gently stretching the area.  Do multiple reps and do not hold the stretch for more than
2 seconds.  You can create micro-fiber tears in the muscle if you hold the stretch any longer.

2. Apply moist heat onto the affected area, unless the area is injured and inflamed. Leave heat on
the area for about 15 minutes, then wait 15 minutes and reapply heat.

3. Apply ice to the affected area for about 10 minutes, and then wait another 30 minutes before
applying again.

4. Take a hot shower, bath, whirlpool bath, or sauna

Be sure to give your body the proper amount of time to heal

We understand that unforeseen circumstances arise, and occasionally appointments must be
cancelled.  Customers will not be charged for cancellations.  However, should need to cancel an
appointment, we request that you provide us a 24-hours notice.
Massage therapy can aid your body by stimulating the lymphatic system, circulatory system, and
relieving stress, which can positively impact your immune system
.
We accept cash, check, or money order.
All clients undress to their level of comfort.  Massage can be performed over the clothes or
directly on the skin using massage oils and lotions.  The only portion of the body that will be
exposed are the areas that the therapist will be working on.  In the meantime, the rest of the body
will be draped appropriately.  If you feel uncomfortable or have any reservations about the
massage enviroment, please don’t hesitate to bring it to our attention.  It is very important that
you feel as relaxed as possible.

For those individuals who experience moderate amounts of stress and muscle tension, one
massage every other week should be sufficient to decrease the cumulative effects of these
symptoms.  Those individuals experiencing chronic muscle pain would be advised to make
weekly appointments until their conditions improve, at which time bi-montly treatments are
recommended.
