Each person is different and experiences a variety of benefits from massage therapy. Commonly most people are extremely relaxed after a massage. It is normal to feel an increase in energy after your initial period of feeling extremely relaxed. Quality of sleep is often enhanced with Swedish massage. Depending on your reason for receiving massage therapy, some people are relieved of muscle aches and pains, reduced muscle tension and increased range of motion, which may last for days. You may also feel like your lighter, standing taller, have more energy and/or feel more productive. These results can last for several days.
No. Your comfort is our priority. Your massage therapist will explain that you will need to undress to your comfort level when they leave the therapy room. During your massage you do remain covered. Your therapist will only un-drape one area at a time, then re-drape that area before moving onto a new area. Our tables are dressed with sheets and a light weight feathered doona. The sheets and towels acts as a boundary line for you and the massage therapist. You will be able to feel where that sheet is draped and securely know that the sheet will not be pulled past that boundary line.
Although this type of massage is generally safe and beneficial for most people, there are certain situations where it may not be appropriate or advisable.
