• Be as receptive and open to the process as possible.
• Avoid eating a large meal just before your massage session.
• Be on time. Arrive NO MORE THAN 5 minutes early. Simply being prompt is best in order to avoid waiting. Being on time also allows you to relax from the beginning of the massage. People who arrive in a frenzied rush can take up to 1/2 of their session just to begin to relax.
• You choose which areas of your body you would like to have massaged. See the list of acceptable areas at the Swedish Massage description on this site's massage page. No sexual language, requests or conduct whatsoever will be tolerated.
• Most clients remove clothing for a Swedish massage or Jin Shin deep muscle massage. Your therapist will leave the room while you undress for the massage as well as when you dress after the massage. During the massage you will be draped with a sheet (& blanket in cold weather or upon request). One body part such as your back, one arm or one leg or your feet will be exposed at a time for the massage. If you preferr to remain fully clothed for your massage, it is best to wear loose, comfortable clothing. It is always your choice. Chair massage clients always remain clothed, as do High TouchR clients. The back, lower legs and feet must be exposed for a Raindrop Therapy session.
• Give your massage therapist accurate health information at each visit to ensure you receive the best treatment for your needs. Massage therapy is a branch of the healthcare team. Good communication is very important. Your therapist will give you a general list of health questions to answer on your first visit. Please report updates. This is to ensure that you receive the best care for your needs.
• Be open about any apprehensions or concerns you may have before your session begins. This will help you to be as comfortable as possible during your massage. Your therapist is a professional dedicated to do her best to help you feel at ease.
• Please let your therapist know if you dislike the music being played during your session. It is OK to ask for something different, specific or nothing at all to be played music-wise during your session. It is YOUR TIME to RELAX and focus on YOUR WELLBEING. Music is intended to complement this process. Silence is great for this process too. It is your choice.
• TALKING during your session is ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE too. At Radiant Wellness Therapies, Inc. your therapist will never insist on continuous chit-chat. Your therapist will only ask minimal questions that are necesary to provide you with the best care. You may ask ANY QUESTIONS about your massage that come to mind during your treatment. You are welcome to talk during your session if you like. Silence is your choice too. Many clients choose to simply close their eyes and relax completely during a massage.
