What to Expect for your First Massage

Hello! Welcome to the first blog post on Bossa Massages! Here, I will post updates on different topics, questions and ideas around massage therapy and its modalities. So to start off our first blog, lets talk about what you can expect during your first massage session with me!

Upon your arrival to my office in Fords, NJ, I will greet you at the door and welcome you into the massage treatment space. From there, I will have you fill out a Client Intake Form, which includes your information, any health related concerns, last time you had a massage and anything you want to address during your session.

Once we review your Client Intake Form together, I will then go over how the sessions work, which includes, proper draping, how to start on the table and how much pressure you usually like. I ask my clients to always undress to their comfort level as every client is different.

At this time, once you are comfortable and there are no other questions, I will leave the treatment room to go wash my hands, while you get on the table. Once back in the treatment room, we will begin the massage session. I do check in to see how the pressure is during the massage, as again, every client is different.

Once the session is over, I will once again step out of the treatment room and wash my hands while you carefully get up from the table and dress. I ask clients to open the door once they are dressed, so I know its ok to come back in. I always like to ask how you feel after treatment, which then is followed up by rebooking!

I hope this helps any newcomers understand the process and look forward to seeing you on my treatment table!
