What to expect from your massage

The therapist will use her hands, arms and elbows to massage the exposed areas of your body, including legs, arms and torso. Depending on the type of treatment you request, you may experience a release of tension, light-headedness or flu-like symptoms from the release of toxins in the body, even emotional release. If you request deep tissue massage, you may experience pain while your trigger points are treated.

How to prepare for your massage

The therapist  will ask you about the reason for your visit, so be prepared to tell them what you would like them to treat (i.e. migraine headache, sore lower back). If it is your first visit to the studio, you will also have to fill in some health history forms, so try to come a little early. Also,  avoid alcohol and heavy meals for a few hours before your massage, as they can interfere with your body’s detoxification process.
Before your massage begins, you will be left alone in the massage room to undress.  After undressing, climb between the sheets on the massage table, either face-up or face-down, depending on the instructions the  RMT has given you. The amount of conversation during the massage is also up to you – some people prefer quiet, others like to chat. Be sure to speak up, though, if the pressure is too hard or too soft.
