The massage takes place on a comfortable, padded massage table. The massage therapist will tell you what position to lie in on the table. The table may have some extra attachments or cushions, such as a face rest (which allows you to lie in a face down position without turning your head and neck). If you don't like using any attachments, ask the massage therapist to remove it or not use it.

Expect a peaceful and comfortable environment for the massage. We do play a background music in our store. Some people find music playing to be relaxing. If you prefer a completely quiet environment, ask the massage therapist to turn the music off. The lights will be dimmed during the session.

The key to obtaining your goals during a massage session is communication. Let the massage therapist know if you are in need of general relaxation or stress reduction or if there are specific areas needing attention. For example, general relaxation or stress reduction sessions usually include all the major areas of the body, while a session for a localized injury, pain, or tightness will be focused on a specific area. It is possible to spend most of an entire session on only one area. If there is anything that does not feel comfortable or right or you do not like, you have the right to ask the massage therapist to stop. Throughout the session, the therapist will ask about the level of pressure and you should take this opportunity to communicate the level in which you feel comfortable, asking for more or less.

After the massage is finished, you will once again be provided with privacy in order to get dressed. At this time, you may ask the massage therapist any questions you have. The usual length of a session is an hour, but may be as short as 30 minutes or as long as 120 minutes.
