Before Your Session
Before your first session begins, your therapist will ask you a series of questions to learn more about your condition and the symptoms you’re experiencing. They will ask you about your personal and family medical history, what your goals are for massage therapy, and explain to you the type of techniques they will apply. Lastly, your therapist will conduct an examination to identify which areas of your body are painful or tense to determine the amount of pressure they should use.
Message therapy is an effective treatment solution for a variety of conditions and can help you take control of your overall health. Whether you are interested in reducing personal stress and anxiety or are looking to treat a particular accident injury, massage therapy may be the solution you’re looking for.
