We at Lally Chiropractic Clinic, serving Yakima, WA, understand that there may be some hesitation or questions concerning our massage therapy services at our chiropractor office. Here are some of the main questions we get, so that you can feel secure and comfortable when arriving.
Why do I need massage therapy?
Besides the fact that it just feels good, it will help with stress and tension, increase immune system function, improve your muscles and movement, and will boost your wellness and mental health. It is great for pain management and for giving you more range of motion. All of these are just the tip of the iceberg when you incorporate them as part of your wellness plan.
Are there any times when I shouldn’t get a massage?
There are only a few reasons why you shouldn’t get a massage. These include anytime you feel unwell, with a fever or cold or such. You typically don’t want to get massaged if you have a contagious skin condition or if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy. Some serious medical conditions may contraindicate massage, and you’ll want to talk to your doctor if you are being treated for a condition. Lastly, while undergoing chemotherapy you may not want to get a massage.
Do I have to be naked?
No, you do not. You and your massage therapist will be able to talk about it and the therapy will not be interrupted. You are going to be covered with a sheet with proper draping so that you are never full exposed at any time.
Do I have to talk?
Again, this is up to you. We have clients that are chatty and some that prefer to get a massage in complete silence. It is whatever you choose. We always want you to speak up should the temperature, pressure, etc. need adjusting.
Do I have to shave?
No. If you are comfortable, we are comfortable. We create a relaxing and therapeutic environment and we do not worry about your appearance, clothing, body hair, etc. We focus on one thing, bringing you to a better state of relaxation and wellness, nothing more.
