On the first visit the massage therapist will discuss the client's reasons for seeking a massage as well as current physical condition, medical history, lifestyle, stress level, or specific areas of pain.  Having privately disrobed to his or her individual comfort level, the client will lay between two sheets with a blanket for warmth.  Respecting the clients privacy the therapist will undrape that part of the body which is being massaged.   Relaxing music is generally played to aid in the relaxation.

Are there different kinds of massage?

Yes, there are many types of massage.  Some of them are discussed on the techniques page. 

How will I feel after the massage session?

Most clients tend to feel very relaxed.  There are times when clients have a feeling of increased energy or greater mobility in their body.   Sometimes, with deeper massage the client may feel that the muscles are sore for a day or two, but generally no longer than that.   Clients are recommended to increase their water intake after a massage to flush out some of the metabolic waste which may have been held in the tissue, while rehydrating the body

Are there any reasons that would make massage unwise?

Yes.  There are some general contraindications for massage therapy.  Letting the massage therapist know of any heart, circulatory, skin conditions, or some form of infectious diseases can be some contraindications.  When a client is at the beginning stages of a cold or flu are another contraindication.
