Here are some of the Frequently Asked Questions about Massage Therapy and Bodywork that I hear from people wanting a massage in Laredo:
Q. How long will my massage last? A. Good question. About 1 hour is the usual length of time for a full-body massage. However, massage sessions may be as little as 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours depending on your needs.
Q. How much will a massage cost? A. My typical charges for incall massage in Laredo are listed below. Outcalls are only available to established clients.
Q. Are there benefits to massage therapy other than relaxation? A. Yes there are, increased circulation, better flexibility, less pain, better sleep, and much more. The benefits of massage are many.
Q. Do you offer "Sensuous Massage", "Erotic Massage", "Full Release", "Sexual Release", "Hand Release", or something along those lines? A. NO! Don't even think about it.
Q. Do you have specials? A. Yes, from time to time I run specials. Call me at 956-334-4050 to find out more about Massage Specials in Laredo.
Q. How often should I have massage therapy? A. Another good question. How often you have massage therapy depends on your goals. Call me, we can determine your needs.
Q. Are you licensed to perform massage therapy in Laredo? A. Absolutely Yes. I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), registered by the State of Texas Department of Health, Massage Therapy Board.
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.
