Once the assessment is complete, your questions are answered, and treatment is discussed, you’ll be ready for your initial massage.
As such, your therapist will do the therapy once you’re properly prepared. You can, of course, chat with your masseuse as much as you please, or you can opt to relax and not talk at all. If to become uncomfortable in the process of your massage and would like additional or a reduction of pressure, simply inform your masseuse.
