Question 1

What should I expect during my first massage visit?

Accepted Answer

You will be asked to fill in a Client Case History Form so that any health concerns you have can be discussed prior to beginning your massage treatment and so that I can adapt the session to your specific needs

Question 2

Can I walk there from Burleigh Beach?

Accepted Answer

No, you will need to drive here. It is about a 10-15 min drive from Burleigh Beach.

Question 3

What lotion do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use Premax Massage Lotion suitable for sensitive skin. I do not add any aromatherapy oils so that it is safe to use on all my clients including expecting Mums. If you wish to bring your own special oil I am more than happy to use that instead.

Question 4

Do I have to be completely undressed?

Accepted Answer

No, for most massages I will ask you to leave your undies on. If we are only working on head/neck and shoulders then it will only be necessary to remove your tops.

Question 5

Do I have to cover myself with a sheet or towel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, towels are provided  to cover yourself with. This is called draping. Once you are lying on the table under the draping the therapist will uncover the area that is to be worked on. Your breasts and genitals will not be uncovered. Proper covering helps both you the client and me the therapist to feel comfortable.

Question 6

Will the massage hurt?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the type of massage and the depth of the strokes and whether it is your very first treatment or a regular treatment.  Initially all muscles need to be handled reasonable gently to obtain relaxation of the superficial muscles before deeper strokes can be achieved to get in to the deeper muscles. You are welcome to give feedback on what you are feeling.

Question 7

What do I do during a massage treatment?

Accepted Answer

Make yourself comfortable. You will be asked to change positions throughout your massage however you can adjust your position to make yourself comfortable. Many people just close their eyes and relax and some like to talk, it's up to you. Don't hesitate to ask questions at any time

Question 8

How long should I book a treatment for?

Accepted Answer

Generally 1 hour is enough for most treatments, although I do offer 30min and 90min treatments also. I recommend an hour for either an upper body treatment or a lower body treatment. If your treatment needs to include both then 90mins is recommended. (Full body)

Question 9

How often should I get a massage?

Accepted Answer

It is different for everybody. The frequency of visits can be discussed with your therapist after your first treatment and the therapist has a better understanding of your particular needs.

Question 10

How will I feel after my massage treatment?

Accepted Answer

You may feel a little sleepy for a short time but you will feel more relaxed and that your discomfort has eased. Your body will be in need of a few extra glasses of water that day to help restore and rehydrate. Generally a massage is a bit like a workout for your muscles which are susceptible to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).

Question 11

When should I not get a massage?

Accepted Answer

There are not many conditions that would prevent you from enjoying a massage. You should not book a massage if you have a fever, cold/flu, or contagious skin infection.
