Whether this is your first or hundredth massage, we feel it is important to know that we take you and your pain seriously.
When you come into our office you will be asked to fill out a brief health history, which you and your therapist will discuss. This will help us get a better picture of your overall health and the issues you are having.
We want you to feel free to discuss your questions and concerns openly without fear of asking ‘silly’ or ‘stupid’ question—there is no such thing in our business. Your therapist will discuss the treatment they think will suit you best. One size does not fit all. Personalization is key.
This is new to me. How does it actually work?
After your initial consultation, your therapist will then step out of the treatment room and allow you sufficient time to get undressed to your comfort level and to geton the massage table.
You will be modestly draped throughout your treatment. Please talk or don’t talk at your discretion. Both are very okay. This is your massage and your comfort is important to us. You can even bring your own music and we’ll play it. Really.
When the treatment is over, the therapist will end the session and step out for you to get dressed. Many of our therapists like to end the session by coming back into the treatment room when you are ready and suggesting stretches, strengthening exercises, and other modifications to your activities.
Who is on staff? Can I choose my therapist?
Each therapist on staff is nationally-certified and at the top of their field.
All therapists with The Austin Bodyworker are currently certified by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). We are also all Professional members of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), a professional organization serving more than 37,000 members who demonstrate a certain level of skill and expertise through testing and education.
With the increased demand on the field of massage therapy to integrate with modern medicine, it has become crucial that we bodywork professionals seek higher education in order to maintain credibility in the field of healthcare. We are constantly striving to push the boundaries of our knowledge in our field. This dedication to education is vital to our “staying in the game” and doing all we can for the clients who count on us to help them.
Usually clients get paired with a therapist based on schedule, and convenience. Some stick with the same therapist over time, and some clients work with whomever is available. It’s really your preference, Regardless, the quality is always the same — that’s one of the things we’re known for, and take good pride it.
Like we say, we have one product — great massage. All the rest is just details.
