What to Expect

Upon arrival you will be part of a thorough and thoughtful conversation that fully addresses your condition, needs, treatment and outcomes.  Once a plan is in place, your therapist will leave the treatment room to allow you to fully disrobe and get onto the table under covers.  This should be at your comfort level at all times.  Should you choose to leave undergarments on, simply inform your therapist who will honor your wishes.  It is worth noting that some treatments rely on a degree of friction or glide that can be somewhat impeded by clothing, but the level of ‘undress’ is entirely your choice.  You will, at all times, be fully draped.  Only the area of the body being worked on will be uncovered.  The exception to this is if you and your therapist will be including Positional Release or stretching exercises—you will be asked to bring appropriate workout clothing (i.e., yoga or sweat pants, sports bra, etc.).

Please remember, this is your time and our goal is to customize your experience just for you---is the room too hot or too cold?  Do you need a pillow or a bolster for under your knees? Specific music or silence?  Do you want to chat, or not at all?  Communicate your preferences to your therapist, and he or she will make every effort to accommodate you and make your experience as positive and beneficial as possible.

At the end of your session, your therapist will leave you to dress.  Before you depart, you will once again have a conversation about any ongoing stretches, exercises, or follow-up treatments.
