How often should I get a massage?

This depends on your treatment plan and what is being addressed. Acute injuries may benefit from weekly sessions for 2 to 4 weeks, while ongoing care and general wellness are often supported with monthly appointments.

How far do I need to undress?

For a full-body massage, clients usually undress to their underwear, as lotions are applied directly to the skin. You will be properly draped with a sheet at all times, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered.

How will I feel after a massage?

Your experience afterward will depend on the type of session you receive.

If you came in with pain or tension, you may notice some mild soreness afterward from the work done in those areas. This is normal and usually settles within a day or so.

If your goal was relaxation, you may feel calm, lighter, more rested, or even a little sleepy afterward.

If you receive deeper focused work, you may feel some temporary soreness in the treated areas, similar to how your body might feel after exercise. This usually lasts 24 hours, and occasionally up to 48 hours.

Once that soreness passes, many clients report feeling more comfortable, more mobile, and more at ease in their bodies.

Drinking an extra 10–20 ounces of water on the day of your massage may help support recovery afterward.
