Your First Visit
On your first visit, please show up 5-10 minutes early to fill out a health history form. Should you have Extended Health Benefits, be sure to bring your card so we can process your claim. Any amount not covered by your insurance will be due at the time of treatment.
Your therapist will go through your health history with you and discuss your treatment preferences, including pressure to be used, areas to be treated, or whether you would like a relaxation focus or therapeutic focus (or both).
After your massage, your therapist will provide some remedial exercise, or homecare. These can include suggestions such as hydrotherapy options (heat or cold), stretches, strengthening, or suggestions on how to become more self-aware of things like daily ergonomics, biomechanics, and compensatory factors affecting your body.
Frequently Asked Questions
This will be discussed with your therapist before treatment begins. You may choose which areas will be treated.
DO I HAVE TO REMOVE ALL MY CLOTHES?
No. Most clients undress to their underwear, however it is your choice as to how much clothing you leave on or take off. You are covered accordingly and your privacy is always maintained.
WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE MY APPOINTMENT AND NEED TO CANCEL?
You are able to withdraw your consent for treatment and stop the massage immediately.
MY SKIN IS VERY SENSITIVE. WHAT TYPE OF LOTION DO YOU USE?
Typically, hypoallergenic products are used, however, if you have a preference, you’re welcome to bring in your choice of product. The treatment room is kept as scent-free as possible due to the number of people who have scent sensitivities.
WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE MY APPOINTMENT AND NEED TO CANCEL?
Things come up and we understand life can be busy. We do however have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so we ask you phone in advance should you be unable to keep your appointment. Failure to notify us in advance can result in a $50 fee as that time has been reserved for you.
CAN YOU BILL MY EXTENDED HEALTH BENEFITS DIRECTLY TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY?
We can bill most insurance companies.
MY INSURANCE PLAN DOESN’T COVER ME 100%. HOW DOES THAT WORK PAYMENT?
We can bill most insurance companies. Any amount not covered by your insurance can be paid by debit, credit card, or cash at the time of treatment. A receipt can be issued for the amount not covered by insurance.
