Q: What types of massages are typically offered at your massage place?
A: We can offer a wide range of massage types, including Swedish (a style of relaxation massage), deep tissue, reflexology, hot stone, and more. You can click our service page to find out more details about different massages, or you can just walk in to ask our therapists. They are happy to provide professional advice and decide a reasonable length of time for your massage session.
Q: What should I prepare for a massage session?
A: To prepare for a massage, it is recommended that you:
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before and after your massage to help flush out toxins and prevent dehydration.
Eat lightly: Avoid eating a heavy meal before your massage, as a full stomach can make it uncomfortable to lie face down for an extended period of time.
Communicate with your therapist: Let your massage therapist know if you have any injuries or areas of your body that are particularly sensitive or painful.
Wear comfortable clothing: Dress in loose, comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement and access to the areas of your body that will be massaged.
Q: What should I expect during a massage at a massage place?
A: During a massage at a legitimate massage place, you can expect to be draped in a sheet or towel and asked to undress to your comfort level. The massage therapist will use various techniques to manipulate your muscles and help relieve tension and pain. You should communicate with the therapist if you have any specific concerns or areas of pain.
Q: Are there certain medical conditions or diseases for which massage therapy may not be appropriate, and if so, what are the reasons behind this contraindication?
A: Yes, there are some medical conditions where massage may not be appropriate or may require special precautions. Some examples include:
Open wounds or sores: Massage can irritate or worsen open wounds or sores.
Fever or infectious diseases: Massage can spread infectious diseases, so it is not recommended for people with a fever or contagious illness.
Cancer: Massage may not be suitable for people with certain types of cancer or those undergoing cancer treatment, as it may interfere with medical treatments or exacerbate symptoms.
Blood clots: Massage may dislodge blood clots, so it is not recommended for people with a history of blood clots or those taking blood-thinning medications.
Severe osteoporosis: Massage may be too intense for people with fragile or weakened bones, such as those with severe osteoporosis.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Massage may increase the risk of a blood clot breaking loose and traveling to the lungs, which can be life-threatening for people with DVT.
Recent surgery or injury: Massage may interfere with the healing process or exacerbate pain or swelling in the area of a recent surgery or injury.
It is important to inform your massage therapist of any medical conditions or concerns you may have before your massage so that they can tailor the massage to your needs and avoid any potential complications. Additionally, it may be necessary to consult with your doctor before receiving a massage if you have any underlying medical conditions.
Q: Is it common for individuals to experience discomfort or soreness following a massage session?
A: After a massage, it is normal to experience some degree of soreness or discomfort in the areas that were massaged. This is because massage can increase blood flow and lymphatic circulation, which can lead to the release of toxins and tension from the muscles. Additionally, the therapist may have applied pressure to areas of your body that were particularly tight or knotted, which can also cause some soreness.
However, if the pain is severe or persists for more than four days, it is important to talk to your massage therapist, as they may have used too much pressure or caused an injury.
Q: Is it appropriate to ask for a happy ending massage at a massage place?
A: No, it is not appropriate to ask for a happy ending massage at our massage place. These types of requests are often associated with illegal or unlicensed massage places that engage in prostitution or other illicit activities.
Q: Should I tip my massage therapist?
A: Tipping is not necessary at our place, but it is generally considered appropriate to tip your massage therapist for a cup of coffee if you are very satisfied with our service. Tips are much appreciated. Thank you.
Q: What types of payments do you accept?
A: At present, we accept payments via cash, Visa Card, and Mastercard. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our services, we are exploring the possibility of introducing additional payment methods in the future.
Q: Do you push the clients to add more time on massage sessions?
A: No, never. Our massage therapists believe in providing an exceptional and ethical service, and as such, we do not engage in any practices that involve pushing clients or adding on extra time to our sessions. We respect the needs and preferences of our clients and always strive to ensure that they feel comfortable and relaxed during their massage sessions. Our therapists adhere to a strict code of ethics, which emphasises the importance of respecting client boundaries and providing services in a safe and professional manner.
