How long does a massage last?

 A full relaxation or therapeutic massage is usually 60 to 90 minutes.  A back massage is usually 30 minutes. 

Will I have to completely undress?

Clients are encouraged to dress down to their level of  comfort. This may vary from client to client or even from treatment to treatment. Full relaxation and therapeutic massages can be performed with the client fully clothed, however, the therapeutic value of massaging the soft tissue is greatly  enhanced when massage is performed directly on the skin.

 Can I talk during the massage? 

This depends on the client and their expectations for the massage treatment. Conversation is usually kept to a  minimum except for clarification of comfort and pressure, however, if  the client is more relaxed with conversation, the Therapist can oblige. Clients are certainly encouraged to speak up if they feel uncomfortable, if they need to adjust their body, if they are too warm / too cold, etc.  

How will my privacy be protected during the massage? 

Full relaxation and therapeutic massages take place in a private room. The client is appropriately draped with sheets at all times during the massage.  

Under what conditions would massage therapy not be appropriate?  

\Medical conditions such as stroke or breast cancer may contraindicate massage treatment. A medical   physician's approval may be required. Massage therapy has overall positive effects on the majority of most medical conditions.
