Frequently asked questions...
01.
Do I need to undress completely? What should I wear during massage?
Depending on the area that needs soft tissue work. If we're focusing on the neck you might want to wear / keep comfortable trousers or leggings on. If we are working on your hip area I can work over underwear and /or draping. If it's down to underwear, you will always be covered appropriately, with only the area that needs work on undraped.
02.
Is massage safe if I'm pregnant or just had a baby?
Massage is amazing for you and baby, pre and post birth. Growing a baby is tough on the body. Raising a mini human is tough on the body. A massage therapist who has undergone a massage pregnancy course will be able to accommodate your needs though appropriate massage techniques and massage table positions. Insurers now require this certification that covers up to 6 weeks post partum. Something I'm hoping to do in the very near future, especially having gone through pregnancy myself. Please ask if you'd like a recommendation. Mums and Dads outside of this, i've got you. Parenthood is tough on the mind & body in so many mays.
03.
Can I ask the therapist to adjust the pressure during massage?
For those of you not experienced in having massage or those that have that didn't speak up, I voice in saying YES. It's your massage. We all have a different soft pressure, medium pressure and hard pressure, so checking in is great and mutually beneficial for both client and therapist.
04.
Can I talk or should I stay quiet?
Either. I would encourage moderation if you are on the chatty side purely in the sense of finding some calm and relaxation in the process, but if you are a quiet person the only communication I need from you is on any hard or tender areas, which I will be checking in on you with.
05.
What if I feel ticklish or uncomfortable in certain areas?
Absolutely say something. The style of treatment often requires going to an area of the body you may find ticklish or uncomfortable. I will always discuss this first with you the muscles I'll be working on. We are all so very unique when it comes to our sensitivities. I want to hear all about yours so we can accommodate and adapt to your comfort levels.
06.
How do I pay and should I tip?
Bank Payments can be made at the end of the session. All prices you see are the total price you pay, no gratuity required, no hidden costs.
