About Your Massage
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage is one of the oldest forms of medical care, dating back to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Its vital role in healthcare was universal. In 2700 BC, a Chinese book of internal medicine recommended “the massage of skin and flesh.” Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, wrote that “the physician must be acquainted with many things and assuredly with rubbing” (the ancient Greek word for massage).
What to expect when receiving a Massage?
Sessions generally take place in a quiet, comfortable room, whether in the comfort of your own home or Nadia’s home studio. It may be dimly lit, and soothing music is played. Nadia will begin by asking questions, such as the reason you are seeking massage therapy. She will also inquire about any injuries or medical conditions and any other information that may help to better serve you.
Nadia will leave the room so you can disrobe to your level of comfort. You will then get on the table under the provided cover and relax, face down. You will be draped with the sheet at all times – only the area being worked on will be exposed. A typical full-body session lasts one hour to ninety minutes and includes your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. Oil or lotion is typically used.
When the massage is complete, Nadia will leave the room so you can get dressed. Sit up slowly, make yourself a cup of organic hot tea or filtered water to go, and in the hours after your massage, you should drink plenty of water.
