First Visit

First Massage Therapy Session at

Effective Chiropractic

Health and Wellness Center

At Effective Chiropractic we believe your health and wellness goals are of the utmost priority. Utilizing the benefits of massage in a professional health care setting adds a therapeutic component to your session that will provide extraordinary benefit to you as the patient. In addition, massage therapy coupled with chiropractic is a phenomenal way to achieve your optimum health potential. We are committed to ensuring that every time you visit our office, you experience a caring and healing environment and all of your expectations are exceeded. If you have never been to our office before or this is your first massage therapy appointment, we thought it would be helpful for you to know what to expect on your first visit.

Meet and Greet 

Once you arrive at Effective Chiropractic, our front desk staff will greet you and ask you to fill out a Patient Intake form and a quick survey. The Patient Intake form is where you record any medical history, past/present injuries and other physical conditions we should be made aware of. Our massage therapist will then greet you and review the Patient Intake form with you. She will inquire about the reason(s) you are coming for a massage, your current physical condition and any specific areas in which you are experiencing pain or would like addressed during your session.

The Treatment Room 

Our massage therapist will then take you to our warm and peaceful treatment room where a comfortable massage table with a warming blanket and soft clean sheets await. A table for your personal belongings and a chair are also available for your use. Your massage therapist will leave the room and allow you as much time as you need to disrobe to your level of comfort. Some clients prefer to completely disrobe, while some will remain partially clothed. Once disrobed, you will lie on the massage table, under the top sheet. Your massage therapist will knock on the door to ask if you are ready before entering your room.

 During your session, you will always be draped with the top sheet and a blanket if you so choose. Your massage therapist will only uncover the areas of the body that she is working on, ensuring that your modesty is respected at all times. 

You can expect a tranquil and comfortable environment throughout your massage. The massage table is padded and a heating blanket is placed beneath the sheet and can be adjusted to your level of comfort. There will be relaxing music playing, unless you request otherwise.

Your Comfort First 

Before beginning the massage session, our therapist will ask you to alert them if, at any time during the session, a technique or pressure they are using is uncomfortable. Depending on your specific needs or requests, your massage therapist will either perform a customized full-body massage (for general relaxation and stress reduction) or focus on the specific parts of your body that you have requested. Our therapist uses only the highest quality                hypo-allergenic massage creams and lotions during your treatment.

Relax and Restore 

Once your massage therapy session is completed, your therapist will leave the room so you may re-dress. Your therapist will wait for you outside the room and then take you back to the front desk area and offer you some water.

We look forward to making your massage session an incredible experience. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us!
