Q.  Will you send me your picture?

A.  No.  If you want massage therapy my looks aren't important except to note that I dress in an appropriate and professional manner.

Q.  Does the Massage Therapist expect me to "chat" during the massage?

A.  No.  The decision to "chat" is entirely yours.  Being quiet can enhance your relaxation during the massage and the therapist understands and welcomes that enhancement.  If you wish to chat during the massage, the therapist will probably accomodate you.  During therapeutic massage procedures the therapist may ask you pertinent questions.

Q.  Do I need to be undressed?

A.  No.  It's not absolutely necessary, but for the best results during a full-body massage it's recommended.  You really don't need to worry, most professional therapists "drape" you with a sheet or towel(s), your modesty can and should be preserved.  We use full draping and expose only the body part actually being massaged.

Q.  Even with draping I still would like to leave on my underclothes, is that OK?

A.  Absolutely.  Undress only to your level of comfort.  If the therapist tells you that you MUST take off all clothing, find another therapist.  In fact there are many massage procedures that can be done while you're fully clothed.

Q.  Will the massage be painful?

A.  No.  Relaxation massage shouldn't be painful.  You should feel free to let the therapist know if the pressure being used is causing you pain.  You can get great results without pain.  However, some Deep Tissue Massage procedures may be uncomfortable.  Most people describe it as a "good hurt".

Q.  I bruise easily, can I still get a massage?

A.  Yes.  You should inform your Massage Therapist that you bruise easily and why i.e. medications (like coumadin, warfarin, plavix, heparin), medical condition, etc.  Your Massage Therapist can adjust his/her pressure and technique to prevent or minimize bruising.

Q.  Another therapist I went to said that my knots had to be relieved by "digging them out" which was quite painful, is that right?

A.  To my knowledge it's not right.  Knots in muscles, even deeper muscles, can usually be relieved with light or moderate pressure that causes little discomfort.

A.  Yes, try Ben Crabtree, RMT, MTI, CNMT at Massage By Ben - Laredo
