Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at pfoundva@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
In general, a full body massage includes: scalp, neck, shoulders, pecs, arms, front of legs, back of legs, feet, glutes and back. (Any of these areas can be skipped if you are uncomfortable or just prefer not to have an area worked on) Our massage intake forms are a perfect opportunity to let us know if you want any areas focused on, or skipped.
This is a great questions: Easy answer is NO
Detailed answer: When you come in for a massage your therapist will take you to your service room, they will go over areas of concern and walk you through the next steps. They will then leave the room for you to get undressed. When you get onto the massage table you will get under a sheet and blanket just like you would when you get into your bed.
If you are still unsure after reading this explanation, and after your service provider does our initial discussion with you, please feel free to ask your therapist "what should I undress to" before they leave the room!
Having said that: At the least, we do suggest taking the outer layer of clothes off, down to your undergarments.
Females-
- Bra: We suggest taking your bra off, your chest will never be uncovered. With your bra off it is easier for your therapist to do a thorough back massage. If you leave your bra on, your therapist may ask if it is ok for them to unsnap it just while they are working on your back. If you are not comfortable with that, they will have no problem working around it. If you are with a date on a couples massage and you prefer the person you are with to not see your chest, but you are comfortable being under the covers without the bra, we suggest getting under cover and then taking the under garment off. If you hold onto it your therapist will have no problem setting it to the side when they come in, and handing it back to you after the massage so you can put it back on under the cover.
- Underwear: Some therapists will be comfortable working on you without underwear, some therapists may want you to leave it on. If they do not specify, you can assume they are comfortable either way. If they are not comfortable with you removing your underwear they will instruct you to undress or disrobe to your undergarment/underwear. The advantage to taking underwear off- hips, glutes and low back are a main area of tension and are areas that may contribute to issues throughout your entire body. So, your therapist can do hip, glute and lower back work a little more thoroughly if they are not working around fabric! Again, your lady parts will never be uncovered, but your therapist may uncover the cheeky part of your glutes (upper or lower) for a more therapeutic oriented session. If a therapist tells you to undress to your comfort level, her routine may just involve working hips and glutes through the sheet, so you will still get the full advantage of the therapeutic value of working these areas.
Males-
What men undress to is determined by the therapist first, and then the client. We will always suggest men undress to at least their undergarments (boxers/briefs). Men your therapist will say one of two things:
- Undress to your undergarments/underwear: If your therapist says “Undress to your undergarments/underwear” You may only undress down to your underwear. If you do not follow these instructions your therapist will have the right to refuse your massage and you will still be responsible for the full cost of your session. If a therapist tells you to undress to your undergarments', her routine may just involve working hips and glutes through the sheet, so you will still get the full advantage of the therapeutic value of working these areas.
- Undress to your comfort level: Some therapists will be comfortable with working on men who undress completely for a more therapeutic oriented session: If your therapist says “Undress to your comfort level” You can be comfortable getting fully undressed and then get on massage table under the sheet and blanket. YOUR MAN PARTS WILL NEVER BE UNCOVERED DURING ANY PART OF YOUR MASSAGE. The advantage to taking underwear off- hips, glutes and low back are a main area of tension and are areas that may contribute to issues throughout your entire body. So, your therapist can do hip, glute and lower back work a little more thoroughly if they are not working around fabric!
Everybody
- Socks: We always suggest taking socks off! Most massages include a foot massage, so it’s ideal you take your socks off! If your feet stay cold you can leave them on, your therapist can take them off while doing foot massage and put them back on afterwards, feel free to request this if you would like! Foot massages can be done through socks, but it will not be as in depth.
- Hair: Some therapists will automatically include a scalp massage. Therapists can work around any hair type, and any hair do. Scalp can be skipped if you are not comfortable with it.
Side note: Because we do use massage oil, there is a chance you may leave with a little bit of oil on your clothing/garments if you choose to leave it on during service, or from residue after redressing. For this reason we would not suggest wearing anything super expensive or fancy.
The bottom line is, your therapist should communicate their comfort level and then you should get undressed to your comfort level.
- Swedish Massage- is geared towards relaxation. Generally light to medium pressure is used. Any massage that requests a heavy pressure is not going to be a Swedish massage.
- Therapeutic Massage- is generally requested when you want to focus on a specific issue, and has a more detailed approach to working muscles groups. Generally medium to heavy pressure.
- Deep Tissue Massage- is like a full body therapeutic massage, with much more detail to muscle groups than a Swedish massage will have. Works muscles deeper than a Swedish massage will. Generally Medium to heavy pressure. Contrary to peoples beliefs, heavy pressure is not necessary for Deep tissue work. Deep tissue can also be manipulated by slower, lighter massage techniques.
- Sports Massage- is a therapeutic modality that incorporates more stretching into the massage. Can be medium to heavy pressure.
-You can request the pressure you are most comfortable with for each massage type. However, you will not be able to request heavy pressure for Swedish massages.
-Any of the therapeutic massage modalities (Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Sports) may cause some soreness in the days to follow.
A Hot Stone Massage is a Swedish Massage which we incorporate warm stones into. The heat in the stones penetrates the muscle giving it a deeper relaxation for optimal response to massage techniques.
For an additional cost you can add hot stones onto any therapeutic massage modality (Sports, deep tissue, therapeutic). We do suggest if you would like to do this to get no less than a 90 minute session. This gives the therapist ample time so they do not have to rush the application of hot stones in order to give you the full benefits of the therapeutic massage modality.
