On our first episode of Massage Minutes, Alisha shows you what to expect when getting a massage at Spa 31. She explains how you will get on the table, how you will be covered, and what the massage will be like.

What Happens when I arrive for my Massage?

When you arrive at Spa 31, you will be asked to fill out some intake forms. We will use this information to determine what type of massage session is best for you. The paperwork will ask questions about medical conditions, medications, and stress levels. Your therapist will also go over these things, once you are in the room.

Do I have to undress?

The biggest question people have before their first massage is, “Will I have to undress?”

The answer is, “No.” While you do not HAVE to undress in order to receive a massage, we will ask that you disrobe to a certain level. You will be in a private treatment room. We have clients choose to leave everything on. Some people take everything off. Either way, your massage therapist will keep you covered with linens throughout the massage! This will be discussed with you, at length, before the massage begins. Our main priority is that you are comfortable in every way.

Will a massage hurt me?

Massage therapy is not meant to cause pain. Here, at Spa 31, we take extra care to keep you comfortable. However, if you are getting a massage to address pain or muscle tension, you will probably experience some points in the massage that are not as relaxing as others. It will also depend on the type of massage you have scheduled. Please, discuss this when booking, and again before your session starts. It is never too late to change up your treatment plan.
