What should you do before the session ?
Arrive a few minutes early. Discuss your expectations, any sensitive areas, your preferred pressure level, and any precautions. Be sure to mention pregnancy, a recent surgery, an injury, a fever, an infection, if you’re taking blood thinners, or any other condition that requires adjustments.
What happens during the massage ?

What should you do after the session ?
Take your time getting up, ask any questions you may have, and resume your activities at your own pace. You decide how often to schedule your next appointments.
