- What To Expect -
- What To Expect -
We always want our clients to feel comfortable and also know what to expect from a spa session. When your Massage Therapist arrives at your location, they'll greet you very warmly, give you a robe to change into (for the duration of your appointment), and set up the massage table. In addition, you will complete a health history intake form so your therapist can be aware of any past surgeries, or health conditions, and help create a wellness plan for your natural healthcare journey. When you complete the health history intake form, your therapist will review it with you thoroughly so they once again, can understand you, your needs, and expectations for the massage session.
Once the intake consultation is complete, your Massage Therapist will leave the room usually into the nearest restroom to sanitize their hands and give you time to undress to your comfort level and lay down on the massage table under the sheet and blanket. Again we want you to be comfortable so we use specific draping techniques during the massage to make sure your modesty and privacy is honored at all times. Throughout your massage, your therapist will check in with you to make sure you are comfortable, & when your massage is complete, your therapist will notify you and leave the room so you can get dressed and prepare for checkout; a gratuity for your therapist is not expected but greatly appreciated.
What Are Your Concerns About The Session?
What Are Your Concerns About The Session?
Discuss with your massage therapist any concerns you have about the upcoming session. It is important that you are comfortable during the massage, and that you know your options. Here are some commonly expressed concerns of newcomers to massage:
Modesty: In a standard massage session, you will be covered with a sheet. You may choose to be totally or partially unclothed. As each part of the body is being massaged, it is uncovered. Genital areas and women's breasts are covered at all times. Many people prefer to wear underpants or shorts during a massage. The choice as to how much or how little you are clothed is totally yours.
Talking: Talking during a massage is optional. Some people prefer silence, especially if they are trying to reach a deeply relaxed state, while others like more social interaction. Always feel free to give the therapist feedback on anything causing discomfort.
The therapist may request feedback from you, especially when addressing a specific physical problem.
Oil: Oil, lotion, creme, or other lubricant is commonly used to enable the therapist's hands to easily move over the skin. Inform the therapist of any allergies you have which might be aggravated by the lubrication used. You may also inquire about removing the lubricant after the
session if you are concerned that it may stain your clothing.
Make-up and Hair: Massage of the face, scalp, or neck may result in disturbing your makeup or hairstyle. Let the therapist know if this is a concern. The session may be modified to assure that make-up and hair remain intact, or, depending on your wishes, that part of the massage may be left out altogether.
Pain: Whether you will feel any pain during a massage depends on many factors, including your physical condition, the reason for the massage, your pain tolerance, and the therapist's technique. Discuss this before the message, and give feedback to the therapist during the session.
Tense muscles are often sore and may hurt a little when massaged. Sometimes soreness is delayed after a massage. This is a good sign that your body is ridding itself of toxins. Take a hot shower or bath, and drink plenty of water to help remove waste products flushed out during a massage. This is especially important after the first massage. The more massage you receive, the less likely you will experience post-massage soreness.
Length of the Session: Massage sessions generally last from 30 minutes up to 90 minutes. The amount of time depends on the purpose of the session, the therapist's schedule, and the availability of your time and resources.
Are There Any Restrictions?
Are There Any Restrictions?
There are certain situations in which caution should be taken when receiving therapeutic massage. It is generally agreed upon that persons with uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, recent surgery or fractures, phlebitis, fever, infections (especially those that can be spread by skin contact, i.e., bacterial, viral, or fungal), need to consult their physicians for any restrictions on receiving massage. In other acute or chronic medical conditions, limited restrictions may apply, and in rare cases, massage should be avoided altogether. If in doubt, check with your doctor.
What Health Information Should I Provide?
What Health Information Should I Provide?
You may be asked to provide certain information to the massage therapist about your past and current health. This information is used to help plan the massage session, and to insure your safety. Important information includes any major health problems you have, medications you are taking, allergies, state of pregnancy, and recent accidents or injuries. There may be a written form to fill out and more information may be requested if a specific health problem is being addressed.
How Often Should I Schedule My Massage Sessions?
How Often Should I Schedule My Massage Sessions?
The frequency of massage is dependent upon the individual person and their lifestyle. Some people have chronic conditions and require weekly massage in order to function on a day-to-day basis. Others may have a good exercise/stretching routine built into their schedules which allow them to hold the benefits of massage a little longer and therefore come on only once every two or three weeks. After your first massage be aware of how your body feels and the sense of relaxation that has come over you. When you start feeling tense or aching again it is time to reschedule your next massage session. Eventually you will find a pattern and should schedule on a consistent basis to beat the stress, tension, and pain of everyday life before it can get a hold of you.
What Should I Do After My Massage Session?
What Should I Do After My Massage Session?
After a massage session you should try to drink plenty of water and try to relax for the rest of the day. During the massage blood is forced to go through your muscle tissue and by doing so it picks up toxins and lactic acid. These will be floating in your bloodstream and could deposit elsewhere in the body. Water will help you flush these toxins out before that can happen.
1.) Schedule smartly. While getting a massage can be a great way to spend a lunch hour, sometimes the beneficial effects of a midday massage are instantly erased by a hectic workday. Schedule your massage so that you’ll be able to arrive with a little time to spare and with your mind at ease. If you can take a long, hot shower or meditate before you arrive, all the better. You’ll be in a relaxed state of mind and body, ready to focus your full attention on the matters at hand.

2.) Hydrate before and after. Arriving at your appointment well hydrated can make a big difference in the effectiveness of your massage, during which metabolic waste is pushed out of your muscle tissues and into your bloodstream. If you’re dehydrated, your blood flow will be sluggish, your body won’t process toxins as efficiently as it ideally should, and you may feel more achy following the massage. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day every day is essential for good overall health, and we would be remiss if we didn’t express the importance of constant hydration for beautiful, glowing skin.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine at least 12 hours after your massage as it can leave you feeling dehydrated.

3.) Communicate with your massage therapist. Environment and comfort are important aspects of the massage experience. Heavenly Hand's spa preofessionals are easygoing, and they want you to let them know if there’s anything they can do to make your experience better. If ambient music makes you want to poke out your eyeballs or total silence makes your mind do funny things, let ‘em know. If you’re too warm or too cold, or if something feels particularly helpful and you want more of it, don’t be shy about cluing them in—likewise if something hurts or doesn’t feel quite right.

4.) Breathe. You may find yourself holding your breath while your massage therapist is working on a particularly stubborn knot, but doing so makes it more difficult for your muscles to release tension, and it can make the massage feel more painful. But breathing during your massage isn’t just about facilitating the release of tension from your muscles. It’s also about being present in the moment, maintaining awareness of the area of your body that’s being worked on, and promoting healing on a deeper level. While your massage therapist is preparing, focus on a rhythmic breathing pattern. As you inhale, imagine your tension and all of your negative thoughts being pulled into the breath, and as you exhale, imagine them leaving your body and dissipating into the ether. Do this five times or so, then settle into a comfortable breathing pattern. Re-adjust or refocus your breath as needed throughout the appointment.

5.) Extend your "me" time. Schedule other just-for-you appointments on the same day, such as a massage and facial massage back to back to relax a bit longer.

6.) Dress the part. Want to feel relaxed after your massage? Bring comfortable clothing to change into. People coming from work might be in suits and heels; If you're coming straight from work, bring along some sweatpants to change into after your massage, so that comfortable feeling lasts a little bit longer.

7.) Savor the effects. Once the massage is over (boo!), don’t hightail it off the table as soon as your therapist has left the room. Instead, take a few more slow, deep breaths, and focus on how your body feels. Open your eyes, and let them take in the atmosphere of the room as they become accustomed to the light. Slowly roll over onto your side, and push yourself into a seated position. Sit still for a few breaths, then slowly retrieve your things and savor how you feel – mind, body, and spirit – as you get dressed. For the next few hours, try to stay in that relaxed, present-focused mindset. Enjoy a yoga class, have a leisurely soak in the tub with your favorite aromatherapy oils, or relax on the patio with a glass of fruit-infused water. Eat a light, healthy meal, then sink luxuriously into your mattress for some seriously restorative sleep.

8.) Avoid strenuous activity. Immediately after your massage, take it easy.
Forgo hiking and running in favor of yoga or light stretching,

9.) Avoid stress. As much as possible, avoid stressful situations before and after your massage. If you know it stresses you out to talk to a certain someone on the phone, don't talk to that person right before or after you get a massage.

10.) Invest in regular massage. Overextending yourself financially won't leave you feeling relaxed no matter how experienced your massage therapist is. With Heavenly Hand's member loyalty program, your monthly massage and spa services are affordable and accounted for. It's easy to waste money on frivolous things, cut down on that spending, and budget for a professional massage.
