What should I expect from my Massage Therapy Visit?
If you haven't done so already online, your first appointment will begin with you filling out a medical case history to establish your current level of health, inform us of your treatment goals, and ensure there are no contraindications to massage therapy. Your RMT then performs an interview/assessment where you two can discuss your medical history, any areas of tension or injuries, and your treatment goals so they can better understand your individual health needs. You can ask questions and together with your massage therapist you will come up with a treatment plan for this specific massage (as well as potential future treatments).
Following the assessment, the RMT will leave the room allowing you to disrobe and get into position on the massage table (covered by a sheet). The therapist will re-enter the room and do the hands-on part of the treatment. Only the areas being worked on by your massage therapist will be uncovered during your treatment.
When they are finished, they will leave the room again allowing you privacy to dress. Once you are dressed the therapist will meet with you again to discuss the treatment and suggest individualized homecare exercises such as stretches and strengthening. You can decide together on a treatment plan for future appointments (if required).
