Massage Therapy FAQs: what to expect from your treatment

Massage is a healthcare necessity, maintenance massage is usually recommended on monthly basis, weekly, or every fortnight, depending on the individual. This is to promote mobility, strength, improved muscle function, and to stop conditions from becoming painful and problematic.

For general health and relaxation, we recommend one or two 60-minute massages per month. Regular sessions have excellent health benefits and prevent pain, stress, and muscle tension from building up in clients who are under light to moderate stress.

Lymphatic drainage massage is useful for draining lymph nodes that have been affected by a recent surgery or medical condition. It’ll prompt the flow of fluid in your lymph nodes and release fluid build-up. You may need this massage daily at the beginning, but over time, you can try two or three times a week.

A deep tissue massage uses slow, forceful strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. This type of massage targets muscle damage from injuries. You may seek deep tissue massages daily, a few times a week, or a few times a month for pain.

A scalp massage can be very relaxing, and it may even lower your blood pressure and heart rate. You may find a regular scalp massage helps you feel calm and improves your overall outlook.

A full-body massage is often called a Swedish massage. This type of massage promotes relaxation. You may seek this type of massage only occasionally, every few weeks, or monthly to help you feel more centered and less stressed.

For Pregnancy mum’s experience of aches and pains as they progress during pregnancy. They often experience hip tension, sciatica, back pain, and swelling of the ankles and feet. Regular prenatal massage sessions (we recommend a 60-minute session once or twice per month) help ease discomforts and contribute to a healthy mental state particularly toward the end of the pregnancy. Check with your doctor before booking

For people in high-stress jobs and frequent travelers, we recommend 90 min or 120 mins weekly or bi-weekly massage sessions. Massage can help relieve the buildup of stress and is an important preventive health strategy for your mental, emotional and physical well-being.

For recovery from Surgery we recommend bi-weekly 30-60 minute massage sessions). Massage therapy post surgery will help reduce pain and hopefully reduce the need for pain medication. More importantly, it will also speed up recovery, improve circulation, minimize the effects of scar tissue and promote lymph drainage if there is swelling.
