Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
Begin your therapeutic journey with a personal consultation where our therapists assess your specific needs and preferences. This initial discussion ensures that your massage session is perfectly tailored to you, addressing areas of tension, preferred pressure levels, and any concerns or questions you might have. It's important to note, however, that individuals with severe osteoporosis, recent fractures, or deep vein thrombosis should avoid certain types of massage for health reasons.
Potential side effects of therapeutic massage can include temporary soreness, fatigue, and bruising. To enhance your experience and minimize these side effects, we recommend staying hydrated, avoiding heavy meals before your session, and ensuring open communication with your therapist regarding any health concerns.
Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the consultation, a customized treatment plan is crafted. Whether it's relieving chronic pain, reducing stress, or enhancing overall well-being, each step of your massage is designed with your goals in mind. Our skilled therapists employ specific techniques, such as Swedish massage, which involves long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration, and tapping over a session duration of 60-90 minutes, to relax and energize the body.
For clients dealing with chronic pain or recovering from injuries, we offer deep tissue massage that applies firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper muscle layers and connective tissue. We also provide trigger point therapy, whereby our therapists apply pressure to specific points to relieve tension and pain, with sessions recommended weekly or bi-weekly. Each technique ensures you receive the most beneficial treatment for your specific needs.
Step 3: Aftercare and Follow-Up
After-care and follow-up are crucial aspects of our therapeutic massage service. After your massage, it's normal to feel a bit tender, but this should subside within a day or two. We encourage all clients to stay hydrated, rest, and avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours post-massage to help the body recover. Follow-up appointments are personalized based on your individual needs and conditions, ensuring continuous health benefits. We'll remain in touch to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
