What to Expect at a Massage Therapy Session

The start of a massage therapy session usually consists of a brief consultation during which the therapist will inquire about your health history, areas of concern, and desired outcomes (such as pain reduction or relaxation). After that, you’ll be led to a private room, instructed to undress as much as is comfortable, and made to lie on a massage table. Depending on your needs, the therapist will employ a variety of treatments, frequently concentrating on painful or tense areas. The goal of the session, which typically lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, is to encourage healing and relaxation. After the massage, the therapist could give tips on how to take care of yourself, such stretching and being hydrated.

A tranquil setting and continuous attention to your comfort are to be expected.
