Let Massage Therapy Ease Your Pain

For many of our Calgary clients, therapeutic massage therapy is highly recommended for helping alleviate pain, relieve stress, and re-energize the body. This massage modality encourages the movement and mobilization of soft tissue, which is a method often used alongside other treatments. Whether you just need to relax or you require a massage to help deal with pain, our massage therapists are here for you.

Massage therapy also helps increase circulatory and neurological functioning. It is also proven to help regulate sleep and relaxation through a hands-on approach in a safe environment. With us, you get a comfortable, relaxing, and professional environment where the focus is on meeting you and your needs.

How to Prepare For Massage Therapy

Your first massage therapy session may seem daunting if you’ve never had one before. And nerves are absolutely normal. However, taking the right steps to prepare for your massage will help make your treatment as effective and enjoyable as possible (as well as help calm those pesky nerves!).

When preparing for your massage, we recommend wearing loose-fitted clothes that you find comfortable. Due to the fact that your muscles may feel tender after they have been manipulated, this will ensure that you feel as relaxed as possible after your session.

It is also important to stay hydrated both before and after your massage. Due to the nature of massage therapy and the loosening of muscles and tendons, the treatment can be a dehydrating experience. This is completely normal and nothing to be concerned about — just make sure you remember to drink lots of water throughout the procedure!

What to Expect For Your Massage Session

We know that many clients can feel nervous or uncertain about massage therapy before they begin their session — especially if it is their first time. That’s why we have put together a summary of what to expect during your massage therapy session. Read the info below and put your mind at ease!

Preliminary Questions

Prior to the start of your massage, your RMT will ask you some preliminary questions about your background, any health conditions and your overall wellness goals. This will help them create the best treatment plan to suit your individual case.

Before the Massage

Before your RMT begins the session, you will be asked to remove your clothing to allow access to the area(s) requiring treatment. You’ll then lie down on a massage table, covered by a sheet to protect your privacy. It is important to remember that only the area(s) your therapist will be working with will be exposed.

During the Massage

During your massage, your RMT will work with the treated area(s) and manipulate the muscle tissue as required. They will also check on any pressure points and ask you questions throughout the process to best understand your comfort levels.

To get the most from your massage therapy session, we recommend breathing normally, doing your best to keep your muscles relaxed and communicating with your therapist if you experience any discomfort. If discomfort does occur, please let your therapist know. They will adjust as necessary.

After the Massage

Depending on your treatment plan, further sessions may be necessary to reach your goals. You may also feel slightly sore after your massage. This is why it is important to drink plenty of fluids afterward. If you experience any unusual soreness after your massage, let your therapist know at your next appointment. They will adjust accordingly.
