Q: How often should I get a massage?
A: As often as several times a week, but at least once a month. I recomend once a month for general well being and health maintenance. Weekly or twice a week if we are working on an injury.
Massage Therapy has an accumulative affect, if you get a massage at least once a month your body responds better than if you only get one once every 5 or 6 months. People who get regular massage notice that they feel better, have less aches and pains and less stress. They also learn to identify when they are feeling especially stressed and can do something about it. You become more aware of how your body feels when it is relaxed, so are more aware of when you aren't and can take steps to correct the situation before it gets critical.

Q: Who can get a massage?
A: Everyone can, unless your Physician recomends you don't. There may be certian conditions that it isn't recomended, such as acute infection, fractures, back injuries that are unstable, This is something we can discuss over the phone when you call for an appointment. Just a note here - massage if very good for back problems and the only reason that I might not work on you is if the Dr. says not to. If you have a fever or a cold, flu or contagious skin rash I will ask that you wait till the contition improves before seeking massage treatment.
Massage can benefit people from all walks of life, all age groups, men, women, children, senior citizens - all enjoy touch therapy.

Q: What will happen when I get my massage? Will I need to take my clothes off?
A: To read what to expect go to this page.
You may be required to remove part or all of your clothes (in private), but you will remain covered with a sheet throughout the session. I use oil during my massage and clothing would be in the way of the massage and you also would get oil on your clothing.
