Whether this will be your first massage or you've had many, you can expect a warm,
comfortable atmosphere. My name is Stacey Garrett, I've been practicing massage since I
graduated from Hands on Approach School of Massage in July of 2002. I've had the
privilege of serving some of the same clients since I was an intern there that summer.
My advanced training includes Certification in Pregnancy, Labor and Post-Partum, Thai
Herbal Poultice Massage, Hot Stone, Reflexology, Deep Tissue - Lower Back, and
CranioSacral Therapy I specialize in helping people relieve all types of pain, especially
lower back pain, but my clients tell me I give a really deeply relaxing massage also.
I'm registered with the State of Texas, MT034022.
Massage on healthy tissue will not be painful. We may find a few sore spots, but other
than that you will not be in any pain.
We will begin buy setting up a client profile for you (takes 2 minutes), during which we will
address issues such as:
Any medical conditions or injuries that I should be aware of
Areas of your body that you would prefer that I not work on, such as ticklish feet or a
sprained ankle
Areas that need therapeutic attention
Any other preferences for your massage
Then we will briefly discuss the goals for your massage. You will be properly draped at all
times to keep you warm and comfortable or we can just use a towel or two if you are hot
natured. You are more than welcome to stay fully clothed or less. Only the area being
worked on will be exposed. A light oil or lotion will be used to permit your muscles to be
worked on without excessive friction to your skin. A typical one hour session will include
work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, gluts and shoulders. At no time
will genitals or breasts be massaged, exposed or touched. The session will start with
broad, flowing strokes which will help to calm your nervous system and relax exterior
muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will be gradually increased to
relax specific areas and relieve areas of muscular tension. I will check with you on
occasion for adjustments to pressure and temperature. You should communicate
immediately if you feel any discomfort so that another approach may be taken. Massage
and bodywork are most effective when your body is not resisting.
How to Make the Most from Every Massage!
Massage can be a powerful tool to help your body best perform its countless functions in
its goal to maintain a healthy balance. Why not do everything you can to get the best
possible results from every massage session? This article is devoted to providing you
with some hints to make the most from your bodywork sessions.
Before your session...
The mood of your session can be affected by the things currently influencing your life. You
can improve your results by preparing yourself before your massage time. If you can put
the events of your life on pause for a little while and truly devote your session time to taking
care of you, the benefits you experience can be greatly enhanced. Life really will wait a
couple of hours for you — and you’ll be in much better shape to deal with your
responsibilities when you are feeling your best! Other things you can do, as time allows:
Take a relaxing bath or shower before your appointment time
Limit consumption of caffeine and sugar, as well as other stimulants
Avoid eating immediately before your appointment
Allow extra time in your schedule so you don’t have to rush to be ready for your session.
Otherwise, it may take longer to reach a relaxed state.
Be aware of your current condition so you can report anything that needs attention. It’s
important to explain what’s going on healthwise, because changing health conditions can
affect your massage needs.
During your session...
Share what’s going on. If you have a tender spot or an injured area, bring it up so it can be
addressed. If you feel you need more pressure or a lighter touch during the session,
please say so. If everything is great, you can lie back and relax. If you find your attention is
on something, bring it up so you will be able to lie back and relax!
Specify your preferences. Everyone has different needs and wants, so share yours! Is
everything in the massage environment okay? The temperature? The lighting? Any other
distractions? Are you completely at ease? Do you like certain music? Is the volume okay?
Do you like specific techniques? More time spent on a certain area? Each session is
especially for you, so please communicate about what you want! If there is anything you
don’t understand, please ask so we can discuss it.
Let it all go and relax! One of the major massage goals for many people is to lessen
tension and stress. Many of those aches and pains that demand our attention are linked
to stress. In fact — according to Dr. Sandra McLanahan — eighty percent of disease is
stress-related, so maximizing the relaxation in each session should help you to maintain
a much higher level of well-being!
One way to quiet your mind is to focus your attention on the session — really get in tune
with your sense of touch.
Proper breathing helps you to relax and to reach your session goals. Slow, deep breathing
(from the gut) will provide your body with much-needed oxygen, while signaling your body
to let go of its tensions.
After your session...
If at all possible, allow for some quiet time before you continue your busy life.
Drink extra water!! Massage releases waste products and toxins from your muscles.
Increasing your fluid intake lowers this toxicity and lessens the strain on filtering organs.
Before your next session...
Make your massage results last by avoiding as many stressful elements as possible.
Schedule your next appointment! When you make bodywork (massage and/or
chiropractic) a regular part of your life, you are helping your body to maintain a better
state of balance. In the long run, you stand to enjoy much better health gains through
consistent sessions.
Make note of anything that occurs between sessions to bring up next time.
Enjoy your life!
Nothing is more important than your well-being, so make taking care of yourself a high
priority. When you feel your best, you are in a much better condition to deal with all of life’s
challenges and demands.
Hopefully, this list has given you at least a couple of helpful hints. If there are any other
points you’d like to bring up, please do so. And if you have any questions regarding your
massage and bodywork sessions or your health, feel free to ask.
