How can massage therapy help me?

Our Okotoks massage therapists are primarily concerned with the health of the soft tissue in the body . It is a hands-on treatment which consists of manual manipulation of the soft tissues such as muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue.

Massage helps restore normal movement and health by releasing trigger points, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation, removing waste products, and stretching shortened muscles. In addition, because you feel better after a massage, you may discover renewed energy and motivation for physical activity.

"Amazing service. Friendly prompt staff. Best massage therapist I have been too, and I have been to many."

The answer is; it’s totally up to you. It’s your massage, and your therapist will likely tell you to; “…undress to your comfort level.” But if you stil aren't sure what the means here is the breakdown...

Option 1: Leave it all covered. Our massage therapists can work overtop clothing although this can limit their ability to work and feel the tissue that is being addressed.

Option 2: Almost bare, but not quite there. Many customers opt to remove just the top layer as a nice balance between allowing skin access while maintaining a degree of modesty.

Option 3: No clothes for me. If it’s important to you for your therapist to be able to massage you with long, uninterrupted strokes, then this may be best for you.

But be rest assured that whatever level of undress you choose our massage therapists are trained in draping and only the area being addressed is undraped to protect your privacy through out the treatment session.

This is sometimes preference or sometimes what amount of time you have in your day to spend on self-care. But if you need your full body massaged such as your back, arms, legs, neck and feet then a 90-minute massage is highly recommended. Massage therapists can only tackle so many areas of the body during a one-hour massage. If you are treating a very specific area then a 30-minute massage may be enough. This is a great question to ask your therapist at your appointment and create a care plan for your body, which will include the duration and frequency of treatments.
