Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during my massage?

While receiving your massage, you will be in a room with soft lighting, soft music, a heated table (optional), and aromatherapy (optional). You will be draped with a sheet covering your body (additional blankets are available). The only area exposed is the area being massaged. Many people choose to fully undress while others may not. I step out of the room for you to undress and get on the table. My approach is noninvasive and is sensitive to your level of comfort with your body. The amount of pressure I use is determined by you, and while it is common for there to be some tender areas, nothing will be outside of your pain tolerance. I use only professional massage products that are good for you and your skin, including all natural and organic fragranced and non-fragranced creams, lotions, and oils, containing arnica, aloe, vitamin E, sea kelp, and other healing botanical extracts.

Who can benefit from massage therapy?

Experts agree that almost everyone can benefit from massage. Massage has been proven to physiologically promote healing, alleviate pain and discomfort, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, increase blood and lymphatic flow, fluch toxins and free adhesions from soft tissue, and stimulate the release of chemicals in the brain such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, while it reduces cortisol, the stress hormone. Regular massage can help boost your immune system, improve posture, increase range of motion in spine and joints, increase muscle tone, and improve athletic performance. The psychological and emotional benefits include calming your mind and body, relief from stress and anxiety, and also helps with depression. Additionally, massage is known to unblock energy channels and offer an increased awareness of the body, mind, and spirit connection, as well as offering a sense of innerpeace and stillness.
There are, however, a few conditions in which massage may not be beneficial; if you are under a physicians care for a heart disease, circulatory disorder, serious injury, or contagious condition, please check with your doctor before seeking massage therapy.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymph drainage massage has become a popular form of massage due to its health benefits. This specialized approach focuses on the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. This type of massage aims to help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions. MLD uses light rhythmic movements which stimulate the lymphatic system without pressing hard on the vessel. They make the lymph fluid move easily through the nodes and tissues, making sure the fluid doesn't get trapped anywhere. Your MLD session will follow a particular sequence, using a series of light touch massage techniques. Lymph drainage massage is a useful technique in treating lymphedema, sinusitis, and other health conditions. If you have symptoms of trapped lymph fluid in the body, ask your health care provider if you are able to receive lymph drainage massage and call to schedule your MLD session today, or book online at: https://pamdavislmt.as.me Ask about scheduling an appointment to learn Self-MLD!

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Side effects from Cupping Therapy can include temporary bruising where the cupping therapy was given.
