Frequently Asked Questions

What are some the benefits of massage?
Even if you don’t have a specific health issue, massage therapy can provide many benefits, such as:

  • Helps hold your chiropractic adjustments longer by relieving tensions in the muscles pulling on your joints
  • Increased circulation
  • Stimulation of the lymph system
  • Release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller
  • Improved range of motion
  • Relaxation of injured and overused muscles
  • Reduced muscle spasms and cramping
  • Increased joint flexibility
  • Helps with recovery from workouts
  • Pain relief from migraines
  • Reduce post-operative adhesions and edema, as well as reduced scar tissue

How often should I receive a massage?

For those who use massage as preventative care or to manage daily stress, massage twice a month is common. Weekly sessions may be desirable if you are receiving massage for injury relief, to relieve chronic tightness that is interfering with your daily life, or if you simply want to get the most out of your health. There are many people who incorporate massage therapy once a month a month for to keep from getting too tight or too stressed where it regularly bothers them.

Why am I sore after a massage?

After your massage that same day, we encourage extra hydration (drink a lot of water). The more dehydrated you are and the more inflammation you have, may result in more soreness. If this is a concern, we’d recommend doing cryotherapy to dramatically lower your inflammation and decrease any soreness. If you are in a lot of pain prior to getting the massage, we encourage you to see our doctor first. Massage is great, but best used according to recommendations based on your individual condition to get the maximum benefit. As your body becomes accustomed to regular massages, you’ll experience the next-day soreness less frequently, making the experience that much more pleasurable.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel?

Due to the length of massage sessions and involving therapists to complete, we have a 24 hour change or cancellation policy. Please respect this policy to avoid a $40 fee.

Must I be completely undressed?

You should undress to your desired level of comfort. This is completely up to you. You will undress and dress in the privacy of your massage room and will be securely covered by a blanket and a sheet during your massage session.

Can I combine coupons or discounts?

Coupons or discounts cannot be combined with any other offers.

How do you handle lost or stolen gift certificates?
If using a gift card to pay for the session, you must present the gift card at the time of service. Session-based gift certificates cannot be split into shorter sessions and are redeemable for the session type identified on the gift certificate. Gratuity is not included. There is no cash value for gift certificate and they cannot be replaced if damaged, lost, or stolen. There is no cash redemption for gift cards unless required by law and then only to the extent required by law.

What are your guidelines on clients of minor age?

  • Studios service minors under the age of 18 with written consent (Minor Consent Form & Client Intake Form) from a parent or guardian prior to performing the massage. Parents/Guardians must remain in the massage room during the entire session.
  • All minors must keep their undergarments on for the entire duration of the session and clients of minor age will be matched with the same-sex therapist. If a parent/guardian or minor client wishes to have a massage therapist of the opposite sex, the parent/guardian will be required to acknowledge permission.

How much should I tip?

Many clients are unsure if and/or how much they should tip their massage therapist. We recommend your tip may reflect your appreciation for their service. We recommend tipping percentages be based on the full price of a regular massage, rather than the discounted price.

What does a massage therapist’s license or certification mean?

A license means that a massage therapist has met the requirements and paid the fee to legally practice massage in your city, county and/or state. To obtain a license, a massage therapist will usually have to complete a minimum number of training hours at an accredited or accepted school or training center and will have to undergo a full background check prior to receiving that license. Each state has specific licensing and/or certification requirements for massage therapists.

Will I be covered during the session?

You will be properly covered or draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed. No areas will be exposed without your consent. You should always let your therapist know if you are uncomfortable for any reason during your massage session.

What is included in the session time?

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.
