We assess your medical history and modify techniques accordingly. Some conditions require physician approval; recent surgery, fractures, deep vein thrombosis, or uncontrolled diabetes may restrict treatment. Always disclose medications and health issues before your session so we can ensure safety and adapt the massage.

Arrive hydrated and wear comfortable clothing. Avoid heavy meals immediately before the session. Fill out the intake form detailing health history and areas of concern. Communicate pressure preferences and any sensitivities so your therapist can tailor techniques for safety and effectiveness.

Therapists combine acupressure, deep tissue kneading, effleurage, joint mobilization, and therapeutic stretching rooted in traditional Chinese practices. Techniques are applied across the full body to release tension, improve flexibility, balance qi, and promote restorative circulation.

Pressure is adjusted to your comfort; some deeper work may feel intense but should not be unbearable. Communicate with your therapist if you experience sharp pain. Mild soreness afterward can be normal and typically resolves within a day or two.

Frequency depends on goals: weekly treatments help chronic tension and mobility issues, while monthly sessions support maintenance and stress relief. Your therapist will recommend a personalized plan based on your condition, lifestyle, and response to therapy.

You undress to your comfort level; proper draping is used for privacy. Therapists work through sheets and may ask to access specific areas. If you prefer minimal undressing, discuss adaptations - many techniques can be modified for fully clothed treatment.
