DescriptioNo. You should undress only to your comfort level. Some clients fully undress, while others prefer to leave undergarments on.

You will always be given privacy to dress and undress, and professional draping is used throughout your massage. Only the area being worked on is uncovered. Breasts and genitals are never exposed.n text goes here

DescriptiPlease tell us! Everyone has different pressure preferences, and communication helps us customize your massage.

Your therapist can adjust from light to deeper pressure throughout the session. If anything feels uncomfortable or you would like more or less pressure, please speak up at any time.on text goes here

Massage should not feel painfully intense. Some focused or deep tissue techniques may create temporary tenderness or intensity, but you should still feel comfortable and in control.

If the pressure feels painful or uncomfortable, let your therapist know immediately so it can be adjusted. More pressure does not necessarily mean a more effective massage.

Please let your therapist know. We want you to be comfortable throughout your session and can make adjustments to the room, table, blankets, or other elements when possible.

Please include allergies and sensitivities on your intake form and discuss them with your therapist before your session. This includes sensitivities to lotions, oils, essential oils, fragrances, candles, or other ingredients.

Our standard massage lotion does not contain added fragrance, and we will do our best to avoid products that may cause a reaction.

Not at all. The amount of conversation is completely up to you.

Some clients enjoy chatting during their massage, while others prefer a quiet session. Aside from necessary communication about comfort, pressure, positioning, or treatment, you are welcome to simply relax.

Most clients are not sore after massage, although temporary tenderness can sometimes occur, particularly after deeper or more focused bodywork.

If you experience mild post-massage tenderness, gentle movement and normal hydration may help you feel more comfortable. Significant or persistent pain should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare provider.

We primarily use massage lotion rather than heavy massage oils, so your skin should feel moisturized rather than greasy.

It can if you choose to have your scalp or head massaged. If you would prefer that your therapist avoid your head or hair, simply let them know.

Staying normally hydrated is always a good idea, but you do not need to drink excessive amounts of water after a massage. Simply listen to your body and maintain your usual healthy hydration habits.

Some insurance plans may offer reimbursement for eligible massage therapy expenses. We can provide documentation for your appointment upon request, but reimbursement is determined by your individual insurance plan.

Balance Massage & Wellness Center accepts HSA and FSA debit cards. Eligibility for massage therapy expenses depends on your individual plan and may require a Letter of Medical Necessity.
