Massage can take place almost anywhere that is
relaxing. It may be in a clinic, at your
home, the practitioner’s home or at a hospital. You will generally lie on a special massage
table or sit in a massage chair and, in most forms, you will need to be
partially undressed or fully undressed in which case towels or sheets should be
provided for modesty.
At the first appointment the practitioner will ask
about your medical history and any specific problems you have. It is important to tell them of any injuries
or disabilities you may have. The first
session will usually be around an hour long, with follow up sessions between
30-60 minutes. The length of a course of
treatment will depend on your individual needs and should be discussed with
your massage therapist at the outset.
