You have the ability to end the session at any point if you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or unwell.
Park in the back of the building and use the rear entrance to start.
Head down the stairs to the left, I have two signs posted.
Once downstairs, turn right in the hallway, at the blue Milwaukee sign, towards Face West Skin Care. This is suite 104 which we share. Her sign is slightly bigger than mine.
Head through the glass door by the tall lamp and you have arrived.
Yes. The health intake form helps me plan sessions and make note of health conditions that may be contraindicated or harmful to work on for you, and require me to adjust the session accordingly. The consent portion is just as important, and that I know what boundaries you want to set and how to make the session most comfortable for you. Please let me know if you are having any trouble with the form, which will be sent to your email.
I always recommend taking off jewelry ahead of time, especially necklaces. Wear something comfortable that's not too much of hassle to get in and out of. As for undressing, that's set at your comfort level, I have people leave undergarments on and those that completely undress. Either way you will be under a sheet and a blanket at all times, with only the area I'm working on undraped for the moment. If you're not comfortable with that though, that's okay too! You don't have to undress, but as mentioned before I do recommend wearing unrestrictive and comfy clothing then, like something you would wear to the gym or take a nap in.
This is every session at Clarified Bodywork. Each time I am going to check in with you and your current needs for that particular session, and what your overall goals are.
For example. That can be as simple as relaxing with light pressure, and maybe you since you're going out after no work around your head and face, and no feet, due to medical conditions like neuropathy that make them too sensitive for you. Overall you may just want to sleep better and bring down your anxiety.
Alternately maybe you went hiking and you prefer deep tissue work to tune up your muscles, and actually would like to focus on your feet and legs since you've got another excursion planned. In the long run you want your sessions to help you move better and minimize pain from your activities.
Each session is different just like each client is different.
Typically if there's soreness it lasts a day or two with overall improvement after it clears up. It varies with each person's tolerance for pressure, the nature of the tightness or pain point worked on, and how often they get massage. Increasing hydration and using moist heat (Soaks, showers, or hot water bottles are great) on sore locations will help speed this up. If you're sore for a longer period, then I will decrease the pressure or amount of work on the area accordingly to avoid this in the future.
