Your First Massage Therapy Session at North Shore Remedial Massage
At North Shore Remedial Massage we believe everyone should be
able to take advantage of the wonderful therapeutic and stress
relieving benefits of massage therapy. We are committed to
ensuring that every time you visit us, you enjoy a caring and
healing experience provided by a professional massage therapist. If
you've never visited North Shore Remedial Massage or have yet to
receive a professional massage therapy session, we thought it would
be helpful for you to know what to expect on your first visit.
Meet and Greet
Once you arrive at North Shore Remedial Massage you will be asked
to fill out a Client Intake Form. The Client Intake Form is where
you record any medical history, past/present injuries and other
physical conditions we should be made aware of. Your massage
therapist will greet you and review the Client Intake Form with you.
They will inquire about the reason(s) you are coming for a massage,
your current physical condition and any specific areas in which you
are experiencing pain or would like addressed during your massage.
The Treatment Room
Your massage therapist will then take you to a peaceful, spa-like
treatment room where a comfortable massage table dressed with a
warming blanket and crisp clean towels awaits. A small table for
your personal belongings and a chair are also provided for your use.
Your massage therapist will leave the room and wait outside while
you disrobe. Once disrobed, you will lie on the massage table, under
a towel provided. Your massage therapist will give you a few minutes
for this process and will knock on the door to ask if you are ready
before entering your room.
You will always be draped with towels during your massage session and an additional blanket is available at your request. Your massage therapist will only uncover the part of the body they are working on, ensuring that your modesty is respected at all times.
You can expect a tranquil and comfortable environment during your massage. There will be relaxing music playing, unless you request otherwise, and the room should be quiet, with no outside distractions.
Your Needs First
Before beginning the session, your therapist will ask you to alert them if, at any time during the session, a technique or stroke they are using is uncomfortable. Depending on your specific needs or requests, your massage therapist will either perform a customized full-body massage (for general relaxation and stress reduction) or focus on the specific parts of your body that you have requested (remedial/sports massage). North Shore Remedial Massage uses only the highest quality hypo-allergenic massage oils.
To Paradise and Back
Once your massage therapy session is completed, your therapist will leave the room so you may re-dress.
Our massage therapy sessions are one hour in length. Extra time is added to include a 5 minute pre-interview and 5 minutes at the end for you to re-dress. You are given 60 minutes of hands-on time at North Shore Remedial Massage.
We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.
