How often should I get a massage?

This varies by person. If you are getting treatment for a specific condition it may be recommended to have it a couple of times per week, once a week, etc. Most people, however, tend to get a massage monthly, with some people opting for every two weeks. Pay attention to how you feel following a massage and let that be your guide as to how often you would want to get one.

Is draping required?

Yes, draping is required at all times for table massages. If you are hot then it will only be a sheet without a light blanket. At no time, will the genitals or buttocks be exposed (or breasts on a female). Clean sheets are put on the massage table between each client and the table is properly sanitized. If you would like a massage that does not require any type of draping, you may want to consider a chair massage, which will allow you to sit in a specially designed chair fully clothed to receive your massage.

Are you using a clean blanket?

Anytime a blanket is used it is cleaned after each client. Most people are not aware that common practice in the industry (including at spas and chains) is to use the same blanket for each client, sometimes for the day and sometimes for a week. At Zensational Massage Therapy, you will always get all clean linens and blankets, because we believe in washing them between each and every client. You deserve clean sheets and a clean blanket!
