Before & After Treatment
Hydrate Well
In the days leading up to your session, drink plenty of water to keep your muscles hydrated and supple, which can enhance the effectiveness of the massage.
Eat Lightly
Consume a light meal or snack about an hour before your appointment. Avoid heavy meals, as they can cause discomfort during the massage.
Shower Beforehand
Taking a warm shower can help relax your muscles and ensure cleanliness, contributing to a more pleasant experience for both you and your therapist.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Opt for loose, comfortable attire that's easy to change in and out of, facilitating a more relaxed state before and after your session.
Arrive Early
Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes before your appointment to complete any necessary paperwork and to begin relaxing before your session starts.
Communicate Health Information
Inform your therapist of any medical conditions, allergies, or specific areas of discomfort to tailor the session to your needs
Rehydrate
Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage and to rehydrate your muscles.
Eat a Light Snack
Having a light snack can help stabilize blood sugar levels, especially if you feel lightheaded post-massage.
Rest
Allow your body to rest and avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours to let the benefits of the massage settle in.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine
Steer clear of alcoholic and caffeinated beverages after your session, as they can dehydrate you and counteract the relaxation effects of the massage.

Each insurance plan has different coverage details, so we recommend checking with your provider to understand your benefits, reimbursement process, and any requirements like a doctor’s note.
