NOTE:    Massage Therapy has its greatest benefits over time.  The therapeutic effects of Massage Therapy are cumulative, so the more often you receive Massage Therapy, the better you will feel and the more quickly you body will respond.  From one session to the next, relaxation deepens as the chronic patterns of stress in the body are affected and released.  If you are getting Massage Therapy to address chronic muscular tension or recovery from a soft tissue injury, more than one session is usually needed.  Be prepared to schedule several Massage Therapy sessions in order to incorporate Massage Therapy into your healthy lifestyle.

HOW TO RECEIVE MASSAGE

Here is some information that will help you to enjoy your session.
