Q&A for Massage
What parts of my body will be massaged?
A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. Remember, the massage is tailored to you and your needs.
How will a massage feel?
It usually depends on the techniques used. Many massage therapists use a form of Swedish massage, which is often a baseline for practitioners. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. Sometimes oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. Please tell the therapist if you feel any discomfort so that another approach or technique can be used. Massage and bodywork therapy are most effective when your body is not resisting.
Why is it recommended to drink water after a massage?
A massage session causes your body to use water at a faster rate so drinking water helps to re-hydrate the muscle tissue. Also, water will help the kidneys and other organs process the various substances which move through the body on a regular basis and after a massage treatment. Metabolic wastes have been released, so you need to flush them out.
