You will be required to fill out a Client Intake Form and sign a HIPAA Acknowledgment form. Afterward, the therapist will begin by asking you general questions to establish what areas you would like worked on, if there are any conditions needing to be addressed, and determine if massage is appropriate for you.

Your massage therapist may perform certain assessments and testing to evaluate your condition.

It is important to list all health concerns and medications so the therapist can adapt the session to your specific needs without doing any harm. It is also important to list any allergies so the therapist is aware if he/she needs to use a different oil or lotion during the session.Acupuncture is a treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves the use of hair-thin needles on particular points throughout the body. The needles are inserted and promote the realignment of the flow of qi, the energy that runs through a person's body. In TCM, the inability of qi to flow freely through different pathways is part of the reason people experience different health problems.

A session consists of massage, time for you to dress and undress and time to communicate with the therapist to make your massage truly customized. This is done to ensure each and every massage session you receive from The Center for Natural Healing meets or exceeds your expectations.

Swedish, deep tissue and medical massage are all included in the price of your visit. Before your session begins, you and your therapist will discuss which modalities are right for you to get the most benefit from your massage.

All massage treatments begin and end on time.  You are more than welcome to arrive 10 minutes early for your session to allow time to get on the table without interfering with your scheduled time.

30-Minute Massage:  Half-hour appointments only allow time for a partial massage session, such as neck and shoulders, back or legs and feet.

60-Minute, 90-Minute & 120-Minute Massages:  The average full-body massage treatment lasts approximately one hour or longer if you choose.

Many people prefer a 60-120 minute session for optimal relaxation. Always allow relaxation time prior to and after the session.

Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience a significant decrease or freedom from long-term aches and pains. Many feel a little slowed down for a short period and then notice an increase of energy, heightened awareness and increased productivity which can last for days.

If you received a deep massage, you may be slightly sore the next day – much like a good workout at the gym. Sometimes a hot shower or a soak in the tub can ease this soreness.

After your session, you should increase your water intake. Just a glass or two more than normal is usually fine. This helps keep your body’s tissues hydrated and healthy.
