*If you have any injury, illness or contraindication, please
consult your physician and advise your Therapist/Practitioner before
receiving massage or acupuncture.
Enhancing your Massage
Prepare for your session by coming a few minutes early for your
appointment. A robe and towel will be provided for you.
A key will be issued at check-in so you may keep your clothing
safely in a locker.
A warm shower and a nice relaxing steam, sauna or spa work wonders
just before a massage.
Keep in mind, this is your massage, so make it a wonderful
experience. If either the pressure or the quality of the
therapist's touch in any way makes you feel uncomfortable, please do
not hesitate to let him/her know. No one knows your body as
well as you do. |
