Your first visit starts with a short intake conversation. Your therapist will ask about any pain, injuries, or areas of tension, along with your overall health history, so the session can be tailored to you.

From there, you will be given privacy to undress to your comfort level and get onto the table under a sheet or towel. Your therapist will only uncover the area being worked on at any given time.

After the session, most people feel relaxed and looser, though some mild soreness the next day is normal, especially after deep tissue work. Drinking water and taking it easy for the rest of the day helps your body get the most out of the treatment.
