Before Your Appointment

Before your appointment, let us know about any concerns, injuries, or medical conditions. Discuss the pressure you prefer and any areas you want us to focus on—or avoid entirely. Your intentions matter: a massage for deep muscle tension will feel very different from one designed purely for relaxation. Your therapist will check in during the session, but don’t hesitate to speak up if you’d like adjustments at any time.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

When your session begins, you’ll meet your Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and answer a few questions about your health history. These questions help guide your personalized treatment plan. Your therapist may perform clinical assessments to determine the root cause of your concerns — because the area that hurts isn’t always the source of the problem.

Once your plan is set, your therapist will give you time to get comfortable on the table. Depending on your treatment needs, massage may be performed directly on the skin or over loose-fitting clothing. Sheets and draping techniques are always used to ensure your comfort and privacy. Your RMT will work closely with you to make sure you feel safe, relaxed, and supported throughout your session.

After Your Massage

After your treatment, it’s normal to experience some temporary muscle soreness, especially if this is your first massage or if it’s been a while since your last session. This is your body’s natural response as blood flow, nutrients, and toxins are balanced in the tissues.

To support recovery, consider gentle stretching, a warm bath, or deep moist heat — as long as there are no medical restrictions. Regular massage sessions can help your body adapt more easily over time.

Open communication with your therapist is key — let them know how you’re feeling, both during and after your session, so your treatments are always safe, effective, and tailored to you.
