What Is A CMT?
CMT stands for Certified Massage Therapist. The basic requirements in CA are 126 hours of schooling. Each school is responsible for testing to for the proper techniques and administering of skills.
What Are Some Of The Goals Of Massage?
Encouraging relaxation. Using a variety of techniques, massage focuses on muscle tension and spasm and works to relax the tissue to promote healing and well being.
Will Massage Hurt?
A massage should not be a painful experience! Massaging healthy tissues feels great! If any tissue damage has occurred, there can be some tenderness. The depth of the massage is discussed with the client.
What If I’M Ticklish?
Many people are surprised to find that massage does not tickle. The pressure applied is gentle yet firm. The therapist will work within a client’s boundaries.
Do I have to be completely naked?
A client’s comfort is the main priority with massage. Comfort is essential to aiding in relaxation. It is totally a client’s decision as to what level they disrobe. Regardless, you will be appropriately draped during your session.
Pre-consultation
At Daily Dose, we strive to get to know each client and their needs. A pre-consultation will be done prior to the session. What is discussed will be the client’s history and situation, the Therapist’s background and what to expect during the massage. This includes comfort levels, expectations and the flow of the massage. This is essential to maintaining a healthy client / therapist relationship. If at any time you feel uncomfortable with the massage or the environment, your honest feedback is anticipated, respected and appreciated.
Time
All sessions should begin at their scheduled times. Please make every effort to be available for your allotted time. If you need to cancel your appointment, it is requested that a minimum of 24-hour notice be made. You may be billed for sessions that you have not cancelled with sufficient notice.
Remember!
This time is all about you, Daily Dose Massage Therapy’s vision is to provide our clients with a caring, sensitive and holistic treatment by focusing on each client’s specific needs.
