A Massage Therapy treatment is the hands-on part of an appointment. On your first appointment it may be shorter, depending on the time necessary to complete the assessment and treatment plan. On subsequent appointments, it becomes the main component of your time spent with your Therapist. Treatments can involve a variety of techniques including: Myofascial release, Swedish Massage techniques, various neuromuscular techniques, joint manipulations, range of motion, stretch, as well as specialized techniques such as IASTM (using a tool in place of hands to influence tissues). The treatments are designed around your goals and are delivered at the depth or intensity that you and your body are capable of. Most techniques are best done on bare skin but most can also be done through clothes if you prefer. Your Therapist will used informed consent to ensure that you are 100% comfortable with where the massage techniques are performed on your body and what level of pressure or intensity you are comfortable with. Always remember that you have the right to change your consent at any time during treatments.
