The amount of clothing you choose to remove is entirely based on your comfort level. Our therapists are trained professionals and respect your preferences. You are welcome to undress fully, remove only certain items or leave clothing on, depending on what feels most comfortable for you. We will always ensure your privacy and modesty are maintained throughout the session. The licensed massage therapist will always step out of the room while you are getting on the massage table. They will knock and wait for your acknowledgement before re-entering the room to begin the session. This procedure is in place to respect your personal space and maintain a professional environment throughout the appointment.
We prioritize your comfort, privacy, and dignity at all times during your session. Draping is a technique in which sheets are strategically placed to cover the areas of your body that are not being worked on. Only the specific areas being treated are uncovered, and they will be draped again immediately after each part of the body is worked on. This ensures that your modesty is preserved while allowing the therapist access to the necessary areas for treatment. You are always in control of how much you choose to uncover, and the therapist will communicate with you to ensure that you feel comfortable and respected throughout the session.
We ask that all clients be mindful of personal hygiene prior to their appointment to ensure a comfortable experience for both you and your therapist. Please refrain from smoking or using substances that may leave a strong odor on your body or clothing before your session. We also request that heavy perfume or cologne not be worn, as fragrances can be disruptive for others in the clinic environment.
Tipping is never required, but it is always greatly appreciated.
The frequency of Swedish Massage depends on your needs. For relaxation and stress relief, a monthly session is common. For more targeted muscle relief, you may benefit from bi-weekly or weekly sessions.
It’s unlikely, but some people may feel light soreness, especially if they’ve had tense muscles. This typically resolves within 24 hours and is often a sign of muscle relaxation.
There’s no special preparation needed. If you have specific areas of tension, let your therapist know so they can focus on them during the session.
Swedish Massage is generally safe for most people, but it may not be suitable for those with certain conditions, such as severe injuries, infections, or skin conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have any concerns before receiving treatment.
