Now I would like to go over your medical history form and answer any questions that you may have.
Have you ever experienced a licensed massage before? If you have, what type of massage was it?
There are many different types of massage. Swedish Massage is the style that all licensed therapists in the state of Ohio are trained in. From there, therapists can choose to study any number of modalities and techniques. I have choosen to specialize in three advanced techniques. Swedish Massage for its relaxation and calming effects on the body. Trigger Point Therapy for the assistance in pain relief & mobility restrictions. Finally, Sports Massage.for its assistance in aiding athelites in preperation for and following an athletic events.
Therapist and client work together to discuss the desired outcome of the session. This will determine which parts of your body need massage. A typical full body Swedish Massage will include work on the neck, back, hips, arms, legs, feet, chest, abdomen, and head. Remembering that with women, the breast tissue under most situations will NEVER be worked.
If Trigger Point Therapy or Deep Tissue Massage is needed during the session, fewer areas of the body are worked. This allows the therapist more time to concentrate on the appropriate area.
As you can see, the sheets on the massage table are set up like your bed sheets at home. There is a top and bottom sheet with a blanket for warmth.
I am about to leave the room to allow you to get ready. After I leave I need you to disrobe. Then get between the sheets as if you are getting into bed at home. Lie on your back, facing up towards the ceiling. I will give you a few minutes. After I wash my hands, I will knock before entering the room. Then we can begin the session."
Must I be completely undressed
Most massage techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, you may decide what amount of clothing you prefer to wear for your own comfort.
You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.
Don't be afraid to give your therapist feedback. Do you want more or less pressure. Remember this is your massage, you're in control. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them at any time. If you don't speak up the therapist can't make the appropriate adjustments.

I hope that I have aided you in understanding massage therapy a little better and making you feel more comfortable. I am looking forward to working with you and answering any questions that you might have.
