What can I expect at the first visit?

At your first visit, your massage therapist will take a standard medical history, usually giving you a form to fill out. This is necessary in case there are any contraindications to treatment, and to give your therapist an overall understanding of your medical health. Depending on the reason for your visit, you may undergo orthopedic or neurological tests before treatment begins. Your therapist will explain the treatment procedure, outlining techniques s/he will use and will ask your consent before beginning. You are always encouraged to ask questions and clarify anything you are not clear about.
