People decide to get a massage for many reasons. For some, they are experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety or depression. For others, they are suffering with muscle tension and pain due to physical activity. What ever the reason, a massage can help you maintain a healthy balance in whole body wellness.

What to expect during your massage at Michael's Salon and Spa:  Your massage therapist will first consult with you and take a brief medical history to see what techniques should or should not be used.  Your massage therapist will then step out of the room and allow you to undress (to your level of comfort) and get onto the massage table under the sheets/blankets. Every massage is specifically tailored to each individual client, including: amount of pressure, parts of the body that are worked on, areas of focus and techniques used according to medical history. A full body massage includes: Back, arms, hands, legs, feet, head, neck and face. At the end of your massage, your therapist will again leave the room and allow you time to redress.

How often should you get a massage? That's up to you. At Michael's Salon most clients schedule a weekly massage to relieve tension and stress. But, if you have injuries or conditions you may require more frequent visits initially to jump start the healing process. Your therapist will give you any helpful tips to aid in healing/maintenance between visits.

All in all, a great massage provides overall relaxation and feeling of well-being.
