  7. Can I have the therapist work on just one area?

    8. 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

  8. Will I be tired afterwards?

    9. 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.
