What To Expect When Visiting A Massage Therapist

When you arrive for your appointment, your massage therapists will start by going through your history. Getting a complete understanding of how the issue began and how you have responded to physical treatments in the past will help the massage therapist determine the best approach, methods, and contact pressure. You can prioritize multiple problem areas, and request where you want more attention. During the session, your massage therapist will seek feedback from you in order to maximize healing but also prevent pain.  A massage therapist provides a safe, respectful, and relaxing atmosphere where you can expect communicative and methodical treatment.

Duration Of  Treatment

The frequency of appointments will be determined between you and your massage therapist, depending on the type and severity of injury /health issue. Sessions are covered by most health insurance plans.
