Benefits of Massage
There are many benefits to massage therapy, such as increased circulation, range of motion, and joint flexibility. Massage also can decrease stress, anxiety, and muscle spasms and elevate endorphin release. Did you know that massage may boost the immune system? This is a significant potential benefit, particularly during the pandemic.

FAQs
Do I need to completely undressed?
No, you should undress to your level of comfort. Many clients prefer to be completely undressed, while others opt to keep their undergarments on. This is completely up to you. You will be able to undress and dress in the privacy of your massage room.
How often should I receive a massage?
It all depends on what your goals are. If you are using massage as preventative care or to manage daily stress, one massage a month is ideal. On the other hand, if you seek relief from an injury or want to relieve chronic tightness, you will likely need to come in more often.
Will I be covered during the session?
Yes, your RMT will ensure that you are properly covered or draped to keep you warm and comfortable. Your therapist will expose only the area being worked on. No areas will be revealed without your consent.
Do massage and chiropractic go hand-in-hand?
Yes, gentle, Koren Specific Technique-based chiropractic care with Dr. Saylor and Dr. Kristen keep your body in alignment. Massage therapy softens and manipulates the tissues of the body and can help you hold your adjustment longer.
How do I know which type of massage style is right for me?
At the beginning of your appointment, your massage therapist will ask you about your health and any specific areas causing you pain. Various options will be explained to you. Your RMT may combine one or more massage techniques into your session to maximize your results.
