What To Expect
Pre-Session
Pre session we will briefly discuss what your expectations and treatment goals are for your time. Focus work is common for my technique but we can spend your time however you see fit. Just note that the more time spent in an area, the more effect/benefit you will generally feel.
During Session
During your session you will always be securely draped/covered, only the area being treated will be exposed. Communication is key to a successful session, especially the first couple of times, while you're getting used to my technique and while I am learning your muscle tone/type/ any potential areas of dysfunction. If everything is fine then just enjoy and focus on what you're feeling in each area. Often times we don't realize what is going on with our bodies until it is being worked out, or when the muscle starts reacting (letting you know) it needs attention in the form of "pulled" muscles or spasms, etc.
Post Session
Post session, it is best to just relax. Your muscle will continue to open for up to 3 hours after treatment, then begin to heal. It is best to avoid strenuous workouts or high levels of stress after, if possible, to get the most benefit from your session. Hydration is always encouraged, just as part of a healthy, daily routine. Hydrated muscle is more resillient, and any problem areas tend release easier, so drink up.
How Often?
The number of sessions needed depends on your muscle condition (tone, level of hydration/nourishment, layers of build-up, etc..). Most people feel relief after one session, however more than one is usually needed for optimal relief. I think of the first session as " breaking through the shell", it may be intense, but effective, depending on your desired level of pressure, of course. The second session and on are always my favorite as I can almost always work deeper into the muscle while usually feeling less intense for you. Again, I can always adjust pressure so let me know.
