When should I avoid massage?

Questions about: Massage

The types of massages we offer are beneficial for most healthy adults. Some health conditions may limit the types of massage you can receive.
- Cold/Flu: Our massages increase circulation. If you have a cold or flu, please reschedule your massage. The stimulation of massage may spread the infection.
- Pregnancy: Although there are restrictions on pressure and aromatherapy, our therapist can give you a rewarding massage. You will receive your massage on your side, with several pillows cushioning and supporting you and your little one to be. Please check with your health care professional if you have further questions.
- Serious Health Conditions: Although there are many types of massage, the kinds we offer benefit most healthy adults. Individuals with more serious health conditions (heart/kidney/liver problems, cancer, immune disorders) may not benefit from our services. Our therapist can refer you to other massage therapists who are specially trained to work with your specific health concern.
- Medicine: If you are taking prescription medication, please tell the therapist, especially if the medicine is to alter your blood pressure. Please do not take muscle relaxers before your massage. This may block your ability to sense pressure and cause delayed reactions to pain, perhaps leaving you sore the next day.
- Alcohol should be avoided immediately before and after your massage, as the increased circulation may cause you to become nauseous if inebriated.

My experience was as positive as possible

“ My experience was as positive as possible. Pias gave me lots of time and explained everything to me. She made sure I understood the entire process. She also took the time to make sure I liked the shaping she was doing, and had me sit up in a chair and look several times. She was caring and careful. Even though the appointment time ran late, she never rushed or made me feel rushed, which I appreciated a lot. I would reccomend having microblading with Pia whole heartedly. ”

This was my first appointment of its kind, and I was completely blown away by how

“ This was my first appointment of it's kind, and I was completely blown away by how comfortable I felt and how all the staff treated me. Right away I was greeted, helped, and offered a beverage. I didn't have to wait long at all and was immediately put at ease when my esthetician got me from the waiting room. She was very considerate and attentive. I was very happy with the results and will surely be coming back to see her next time. Thank you! ! ”

The staff was very friendly and welcoming

“ The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The number of people in the waiting area was limited by The phone call to enter process. All personnel wore appropriate PPE the entire time and completed additional cleaning on devices before/during/after use.
