Frequently Asked Questions About Massage Therapy



Q: Will I need to take my clothes off?


A: For a full body massage, most will undress completely. You are more than welcome to undress to your level of comfort.  During your massage, your body will be completely covered by a sheet, save for the area that is being worked.



Q: What is the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?

A: Swedish massage is great for someone who is looking for a basic treatment, ideal for relaxation. Deep tissue massage is more focused, concentrating on specific areas and the working of knots and scar tissue.



Q: Why is it important to drink a lot of water following my massage?

A: Deep massage will allow the body to liberate the toxins and waste products that have built up within the tissue itself. It is very important that these toxins flush themselves from your body. The best way to do this is by drinking a lot of water. Otherwise, these toxins will simply find a new place to settle.
