Choosing...., "The Right Massage For You
First things first. A massage is going to help you to relax “Mind and Body". A massage session will put your mind and
your body at rest to recover from the stress of a work-out, sport training, everyday home, and family or office
life. Medically massages should help with head aches, soft tissue pain, muscle and joint pains, will improve sleep, and
start recovery time from injury.
Massage
therapy moves fresh blood and oxygen and pushes out the toxins, like lactic acid from the muscles and soft tissue while
letting the body and muscle recover and perform at their pinnacle. It's not just the Athlete. Everyone
can see improvement right away and receive health and wellness from massage therapy. No need to be shy, I have all
types of clients, young and old, in-shape or out of shape. I always enjoy meeting new clients and helping them with meeting
their goals.
As a first time client, take the time to check out all the different types of sessions. Massage and
therapy sessions are very relaxing, even the Deep Tissue Massage therapy session and Sports Massage therapy sessions,
can be very relaxing and therapeutic at the same time. A Swedish
massage will be more of what most are familiar with a Day Spa. It involves a light or soft touch massage.
The Deep Tissue massage uses a firmer massage to help with sore tight muscles, soft tissue pain or scar tissue. My
Sports Massage Therapy Sessions are my best massage sessions that I offer and it is the type of work my clients ask for
the most. If you want and enjoy stretching with your massage the Sports Massage Therapy is the answer whither you are
an athlete or not.
Anyone that has had my work can tell you how much, I can help with soft tissue pain, the stress
of everyday life, work-outs, training, personal problems and body performance, improving you and your sport.
THE MASSAGE… All of my massage
and therapy sessions will start about the same. The first time
client will need to feel out a client information form, letting me know more about the health and needs of the client.
We'll do a quick review and go over any questions you may have. I'll show you the massage or treatment room and a place to
put your things. I'll go over how to start your session, then I'll step out of the room to let you disrobe
to your comfort level, you may choose be draped with a towel or sheet, so if you like you can be totally undress
under the sheet or towel, letting me work more freely with easy and long full strokes to flush out toxins from the body.
(If you choose to be naked or clothed under the towel or sheet is always up
you). Also Note; For the Sport Massage you may want to wear briefs,
a jock strap, or g-string but boxer briefs get in the way of the hip joint. With stretching it can be difficult to keep you
covered as we proceed.
Once you are ready to start the massage or therapy, I'll knock and you will give me a verbal entrance and enter.
All the massage sessions are full body massage sessions; it's a total body therapy. I do not work on just one part of the
body or one area like the lower back or just the legs unless specified. I have seen many times when the clients back
pain is do to the legs being too tight or clients head aches was do to neck and shoulder problems. During the massage I'll
talk only if you like or if I need feed back on stretching, soreness and pressure of the massage. Is use a table
warmer in all massage and therapy sessions. The heated table on your back feels great as the session progress.
The heat also will relax and warm the muscle making them easy to work. Once I have massaged,
stretched and worked the full body, on booth sides and I am finished, I'll let you know, I will use a moist warm
towel to remove any excess lotion from your body and then cover you with a warm dry towel. This will let you come back to
balance and sense of well-being. I'll step out of the room to let you get dressed. You'll want to move slow and take your
time getting off the table. You maybe light headed after the, it's only a few min., and then you'll feel the difference in
mind, body and in time your Sport, "It's GREAT..!". (Something I tell my clients is that massage therapy is like waking up from a great sleep,
relaxed, refreshed with no pain and ready to start the day or like re-setting your "Power Breaker ",
letting Body, Mind and "SPORT", be the Best it Can Be!)
Things to Know before booking an appointment...
To book all appointments, I need to know your name, your first choice of date and time you would like your appointment,
the type of massage treatment or therapeutic service you prefer or require. I'll need a phone where you may be reached at
on the day of the massage, in case I should need to reach you before your appointment and confirm
direction to the office, if needed. (Cell phones work best, if you have one)
You should try to give as much notice as you can when booking an appointment. For same day appointments,
you may want to call rather than email as I do not always have time to check emails but check phone voice mail, between
clients. Pick a few dates and times that work best for, just
in case I happen to be unavailable. Massage Therapy is all I do and I work everyday, even Sunday's and most holidays I can
most likely get you in within a days notice or even same day. You and your body need to rest and recover after the massage
or therapy session. Avoid weight training or strenuous exercise the day of your massage. If you need an appointment because
of sore, tight or painful muscles from an injury or just sleeping wrong, you may want to call for same day appointments. Sometimes,
I can get people in with an hour or two in most cases, depending on weather, other client and appointments. For first time and "same-day"
clients I ask you to pre-pay your session with a PayPal payment. I've provided the neccesary link on my home page for your
convience. This eliminates the need for
me to have possession of your credit card information insuring you the security and privacy. For my cancellation policy
please see the information below. *Appointments Only..!, "Sorry No Walk Ins..." ...Please, Call for "Same-day " Appointments..!
Out of town clients & visitors..... If this is your first
session booked with me I invite you to pre-pay for your session using my Pay-Pal® link. This insures your reservation
for me and allows me to make a refund to you should you need to cancel with in the pof my parameters of my cancelation policy.
PayPal® is a secured payment site allowing privacy to the purchaser. No need for un-needed Credit Card information
in a strangers possession.
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice
are charged the one hour minimum ($65) Unfortunately,
life sometimes gets in the way of keeping an appointment. If you have to cancel your appointment with me, and you wish not
to be billed for the appointment, you must notify via telephone or email a minimum of 24 hours before the starting time of
the appointment. If you are late for an appointment,
I will try to accommodate you, schedule permitting. However, if the schedule does not allow for this type of accommodation,
you will still be given the same time slot and your appointment will be shortened. For example, if you are 15 minutes late
for an hour appointment, you will receive a 45 minute massage and you will be charged for the full hour
So, if you'd like to re-schedule a confirmed appointment?
No problem, just let me know more than a full day in advance by calling 614-395-7630. That way I can rearrange my planned
work and perhaps help someone else.
