Space requirements are minimal - only a small 5' x 6' area is needed
for the therapist to set up their massage chair and have enough room
to move around comfortably.

The therapist will clean & disinfects their massage chair and hands
between each massage. Each massage recipient also receives a fresh face-rest
cover to ensure cleanliness.

Just ask! Our therapists are trained to adapt to a wide variety of
body types and sensitivities to pressure. The therapist will check in
with you during the massage, but never hesitate to let them know your
preference.
Back to Questions
If you'd like the massage therapist to focus on one specific area just
let them know. At the beginning of the massage they will ask if you
have any specific concerns. Keep in mind, that the more time spent on
this specific area, the less time spent on the other areas
Back to Questions
It's easy to mistake a sense of relaxation for fatigue. In our experience,
however, after a few minutes needed to "re-adjust" to the surroundings
- massage recipients are more alert and focused then ever. In fact,
research has shown chair massage recipients to be even more alert and
focussed than before.
Back to Questions
Massage can be very beneficial for women during pregnancy. However,
be sure to let the massage therapist know you are pregnant so they can
assure your safety and comfort.
