FAQs
What is included in a 60 minute appointment?
1
Your 60-minute appointment begins with a brief health history review and a focused assessment to better understand your concerns and goals. This helps guide a treatment plan that is safe and specific to your needs.
Whenever possible, the majority of the session is dedicated to hands-on treatment. However, depending on your presentation, time may also be spent on assessment and movement testing to ensure the treatment is appropriate and effective.
Homecare recommendations may also be provided to support your progress between sessions, such as exercises, stretches, or self-management strategies.

What conditions can massage therapy help with?

Do I have to fully undress?
4
No, you do not have to fully undress. You should only remove clothing to your level of comfort. You will always be properly draped with sheets and only the area being treated will be uncovered. Treatments can also be done through clothing if preferred. Your comfort and privacy are always respected.
Massage therapy may help with muscle tension, pain, movement restrictions, headaches, and injuries. This can include overuse and postural strain, sports and gym-related injuries, and discomfort related to daily activities or work.
Common examples include sprains and strains, post-surgical recovery, shoulder conditions such as frozen shoulder, knee-related issues, nerve irritation such as carpal tunnel or sciatic symptoms, and general muscle tightness associated with movement or posture.
