At Granger Massage Retreat our goal is to provide a professional bodywork session to meet your relaxation and massage therapy needs.
Before Your Session –
Please arrive to your first appointment approximately ten minutes early to complete a new client intake form that will give the therapist a background of your physical needs and goals. She will also discuss your goals with you in order to tailor your session specifically to your needs that day.
During your massage –
You will privately disrobe to your comfort level and relax, under linens, on the massage table before the bodywork begins. Throughout the massage your body will be draped with sheets to maintain professionalism and privacy. It is very important to try to relax throughout your session in order to allow the stretching and effects of massage therapy to be felt. Please let your therapist know if you are ever uncomfortable, especially with the pressure being used or if you are too warm or too cold. Remember that this massage is for you; a good therapist strives to make sure that the client receives the best possible massage and that it is always tailored to his/her needs.
After your Massage –
After your massage you should feel relaxed and experience less tension in your muscles. Please remember to take your time while leaving the table as well as during the first few hours after your massage. If you received a deep tissue massage you may feel some soreness in your muscles the next day or two. This is normal as your muscles are realigning and releasing built up toxins. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help your body detoxify and further remove toxins from your muscles and body. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your therapist.
There are times that massage is not beneficial and may provide more harm than good. Some of these times include when you are sick, have open sores/wounds, after undergoing surgery (must be approved by your doctor), flare up of immune system disorders or other times you are already stressing your lymphatic and immune systems. If you have any questions please consult your massage therapist before your session begins.
