What's
an Hour Plus? How do the hours work?
An hour plus session lasts a minimum of 75 minutes. The client
should plan on being at the office for 1 1/2 hours. This is the
most common session length at WrightTouch massage and is the recommended
minimum for a full body therapeutic massage. Other options are:
20 Minute Session - At least 20 minutes of hands on work.
The client should plan on being in the office 1/2 hour. This can
be an effective treatment for minor shoulder, neck and upper back
tightness.
45 Minute Session - At least 45 minutes of hands on work.
The client should plan on being at the office for 1 hour. This
length session is usually used for specific area treatments.
1 1/2 Hour Plus (105 minute) Session - At least 105 minutes
of hands on work. The client should plan on being at the office
for 2 hours.
What should
I expect when I come in for my first session? When you arrive
for your first massage or bodywork appointment, you first fill
out a brief medical history form and discuss it with the massage
therapist to determine your needs and to decide which type of
massage therapy or bodywork is appropriate for you. (If you have
major medical problems, it's recommended that you first discuss
with your physician if massage will be appropriate for you). Techniques
may range for very light to very deep pressure depending upon
your preferences and needs. Therapeutic massage or bodywork may
be for relaxation only or to help alleviate pain or injuries.
Your massage may be performed through clothing or directly on
your skin (always with appropriate draping). It is most important
that you feel comfortable. Movement and Cranio-Sacral therapy
work is usually performed with the client in loose fitting, comfortable
clothes.
I
