Common Questions
About Massage Therapy

What to expect in first visit?

Initial visits include a thorough and up to date health history, assessment of the areas being treated and collaborative treatment planning. This can take anywhere from 5–15 minutes typically, depending on variables.

What should I wear or bring?

Comfortable clothing and any relevant medical information. You’ll be properly draped during treatment to ensure comfort and privacy. If you want us to bill your insurer, then please bring your insurance id and your credit card so that we can submit on your behalf.

Do you direct bill insurance?

Yes, we can directly bill most insurance providers, with few exceptions. If you are curious about your provider, then feel free to send an email inquiry.

How often should I get treated?

Frequency depends on your goals. Some clients benefit from weekly treatments, while others maintain results with monthly visits. Lymphatic drainage treatment plans can call for daily treatments in some cases. Your therapist will provide a recommendation based on your assessment.

I am in a lot of pain, is it better to wait some time before I come in for treatment?

Treatments and techniques can vary in style and intensity, to suit the level of care that is needed. In general it is better to address things early, but if you are unsure then feel free to reach out with questions.

I am planning to go to the gym today, after treatment. Is it a good or bad idea?

A little bit of exercise and plenty of hydration are essential for helping you recover quickly after treatment. You should avoid very strenuous movements after getting treated, especially if they involve areas that were treated that day. Best to leave the training for the next day and instead do some jogging or stretching.

Do you use any scented products?

No, I have no scented products on my body, or inside the treatment space. I use Biotone products, made with natural ingredients, for clinical use.

Can I remain fully clothed during treatment?

You always have the option to keep on or remove as much as you wish. Only the area that is being treated needs to be accessed. Certain techniques can be done through clothing, but very bulky clothes can sometimes cause challenges and make treatment less than optimal. It’s always easiest to bring shorts and a gym top and then ask in-person if you still have questions.
