FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS OF MASSAGE?

        Increased circulation speeds healing of injured tissues, helps flush the lymphatic system, simultaneously relaxes and energizes the body, and releases the body's natural pain killers.  The massage strokes and stretches are designed to increase range of motion and ease tightly-contracted muscles and ligaments.   Massage is a complement to other pain therapies and not just a pampering session. 

IS MASSAGE APPROPRIATE FOR EVERYONE?

        Rarely, some medical conditions may require a physician's release for massage.  A short medical intake form for all new clients will be filled out at the initial appointment.  Confidentiality is assured.

WHAT ARE THE POLICIES FOR CANCELLATION AND LATE ARRIVAL?

        Cancellation (non-emergency) without 24 hours notice may require payment for missed sessions.   Late arrival may necessitate rescheduling or a shortened session.

WHAT ARE PAYMENT OPTIONS?

ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO KNOW?
