If you haven't had much experience with massage therapy, you might be wondering
what to expect and how to start.
If it's your first time visiting the Kare Foot clinic, your
therapist will ask you some questions. The massage therapist might ask about
the reasons you are getting a massage, current physical condition,
medical history, life style and stress level, experiences with specific
areas of pain, and whether there is any specific need you want
addressed during the massage.
First and foremost, the massage therapist needs to make sure
there aren't any conditions present that rule out having a massage due to any
health risks.
Second, the massage therapist needs to know what your needs
are regarding the massage and be sure both of you are clear about what your
expectations and goals for the session are.
Third, the information you provide helps the massage therapist
determine what techniques to use and how to structure the session.
After discussing your needs, the therapist will leave the room to
provide privacy while you disrobe. You should take off only as much as you
are comfortable removing. At this time, you should also remove jewelry
or other articles that may interefere with the massage. After disrobing
you will lay flat on the massage table covering yourself with a sheet.The sheet
is provided for draping during the massage and the therapist will uncover only
the part of the body being massaged, insuring that modesty is respected at all
times. The draping also keeps the person receiving the massage warm. You may
ask for additional coverage if you tend to be cold natured.
