Can massage help with my headaches?
It has been my experience that many headaches involve the muscles of the scalp, jaw, neck, or upper back.  Massage therapy has been helpful for many in reducing the severity and frequency of headaches.  Of course, it is important that your doctor rule out any medical causes of headaches.

What other conditions does massage help?
In my experience, massage can be helpful with low back pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD), to name just a couple.  Massage therapy can assist in the recovery process from spinal and other surgery, physical trauma from sports injuries or automobile accidents and help prevent stress-related illness.

What should I wear during a massage session?
During the massage session, you should wear what is comfortable to you.  Keep in mind that I will step outside the room while you disrobe climb onto the table and put the top sheet over yourself.  I normally use lotion especially formulated for the type of massage therapy that I do, so I need access to your skin to reach the muscles below it.  Some people prefer to wear their underpants while others choose to wear nothing under the sheet.  Sometimes the work requires that you bring some comfortable shorts and a top, so please ask before you come.   What is most important is that you feel comfortable in the room.  I would suggest that you bring something comfortable to leave in.

How often should I get a massage?
That depends.  There really isn't a firm rule on this, but I can assist you with that decision when you come in for a session.  We will consider your reasons for seeking massage, your progress, as well as the other things you are doing to maintain your wellness including exercise and other stress reduction techniques.

How far ahead do I need to make my appointment?
The earlier you make your appointment, the more choices you will have.  There are occasionally same day appointments available, usually earlier in the day and earlier in the week.  If your schedule permits you may want to consider a standing appointment.
