Q. WHY SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY MASSAGE TODAY?
A. The impact of the pressure, manipulation, stretching, and motion central to body-work therapies, like Shiatsu, affect physiological changes in the body that promote healing and restoration.
IMPROVED CIRCULATION: Tension in muscles impairs the flow of blood (transport of nutrients and energy to, and wastes from, tissues) and lymph (central to the functioning of the immune system), both of which are necessary for body maintenance, repair, and defense against disease or infection.
RELEASE OF TENSION: Absence of complete recovery from psychological or emotional trauma manifests in the body as tension in muscle that not only impairs circulation, but can also affect the skeletal structure of the body sufficiently to impair function and mobility; flexibility, range of motion, and the proper tracking of joints are adversely affected.
RELEASE OF TOXINS FROM MUSCLES: Consequence of tension/trauma in muscles is that toxins and waste products of metabolism cannot be effecitntly cleared by blood and lymph massage facilitates the release of these toxins.
Massage is also an effective way to increase the body's receptivity to Chiropractic alignment. Used before an adjustment to warm and soften tight muslces, and afterward, to encourage the body to accept and retain the treatment.

Q. IS "tipping" THE THERAPIST EXPECTED?
A. While any gratuity is always at the discretion of the client, it is customary and welcomed by your massage therapist. The fee you pay for your massage to the therapist or cashier belongs strictly to the business. While tipping is not required, it is most welcome and goes directly to your massage therapist. It does not matter if the therapist is the owner, partner or employee of the massage business. Tipping the person who gave you your massage is a nice gesture if he/she has given you a good massage. If you do decide to give your therapist a tip, the amount to give is entirely up to you. The average tip is 10-15% of the charge for the particular service the therapist performed.
