Question 1

What should I expect during my first massage therapy visit?

Accepted Answer

Before a massage, you’ll complete a medical history form and be asked a few questions to assess your needs. And then it’s time to relax.

Question 2

Do I have to be fully undressed for a massage?

Accepted Answer

Your massage therapist will direct you to undress to your underwear or a level that is comfortable for you. A towel is always used to maintain your modesty.

Question 3

Do I have to cover myself with a sheet or towel?

Accepted Answer

This is known as draping and depends on the therapist and in some cases, the law. The vast majority of therapists will insist on draping.

Question 4

What do I do during a massage treatment?

Accepted Answer

Make yourself comfortable. If your therapist wants you to adjust your position, she/he will either move you or will ask you to move what is needed.

Question 5

How long will a massage treatment last?

Accepted Answer

The average full-body massage treatment lasts approximately one hour. A half-hour appointment only allows time for a partial massage session.

Question 6

Will the massage hurt?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of massage and the depth of the strokes. A light, relaxing massage that doesn't probe deep into the muscles, shouldn't hurt.

Question 7

How often should I get a massage?

Accepted Answer

It varies from person to person. If you are just looking for some occasional relaxation, then a session every 3-6 weeks may be fine for you.

Question 8

If I want a really deep massage shouldn't I see a male therapist?

Accepted Answer

No. It’s a matter of style, training, and therapist preference. Some therapists prefer not to give really deep sessions.

Question 9

How will I feel after my massage treatment?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience a significant decrease or freedom from long-term aches and pains.

Question 10

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, it’s hard to say. Every person is unique and every condition is unique to each person. It may take one session or it may take several.
