Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in, use the bathroom, and fill out a short health questionnaire if it is your first visit.
Your therapist will check in about pressure preference, any areas to avoid, and what you are hoping to get out of the session.
You will be left to undress to your comfort level and get under the sheet before your therapist returns. Speak up at any time if the pressure needs adjusting.
Take a few minutes to sit up slowly, and drink plenty of water afterwards - this helps flush out the metabolic waste released during the massage.
