TyannMassage

A successful massage session requires your participation. Ensure that you:

Every massage session is an individual, unique experience. However, all sessions generally share a number of common elements:

Drink plenty of water
Do not consume a large meal
Do not consume alcohol
New clients will be required to complete both the Client Data and Client Health forms. To save time during your first visit, it is suggested that the forms be downloaded and completed prior to your appointment
Prenatal clients will also need to complete the Client Prenatal Release prior to their first prenatal session. Based upon responses to this form, the Physician Prenatal Release may also be required

Returning clients will be asked to verify and/or update their data and health information
Depending upon your situation, a postural assessment may be conducted
Communicate any injuries, wounds, sores, problem areas, or other concerns
Usually, you will be instructed to remove as much clothing, in private, as you are comfortable with. Modesty and privacy are always respected

Throughout a full-body massage, you will be completely draped with linen. Only the part of the body being worked is exposed
You will be instructed as to what is required of you throughout the session
Always communicate pain, discomfort or other concerns
A variety of music will generally be made available. It is your option if you wish to have music played during your massage
Conversing during the massage is acceptable, but excessive conversation may detract from the relaxation aspect of the massage
It is perfectly acceptable (and often desirable!) to fall asleep during your session

Drink plenty of water
It is likely that hair or makeup will be disordered
It is not uncommon to experience some minor aches or pains following your massage
An epsom salt bath may be recommended to aid in detoxification
Depending upon your situation, simple stretches or exercises may be prescribed to compliment your therapy
