Question 1

Does Manual Therapy and Stretching hurt?

Accepted Answer

Nope. It is gentle but POWERFUL. It should never hurt. We work with your breath as well to ensure we stay in a safe and comfortable range.

Question 2

What do I need to do to be ready for my session?

Accepted Answer

To ensure the best results please ensure your body is well-hydrated prior to your session. For bodywork and stretch sessions please come with athletic clothing. Sports bras and biker shorts are ideal yet, racerback shirts with Yoga pants or tight joggers can work as well.

Question 3

What do I wear?

Accepted Answer

The first thing is you should wear what you feel comfortable in.  With massage therapy you will disrobe to your comfort level and will be draped throughout the duration of the session.  For a Stretch and Bodywork Session we strongly suggest shorts with a tank top or sports bra.  Bulky sweatshirts and pants are too thick to be able to reach some levels of tissue.
