If you've never experienced a therapeutic massage before, you may have
a few questions and concerns.
What do I have to do to prepare for my massage?
Arriving 15 minutes early will allow you the time to relax to the gentle sound of music in one of our comfy chairs. This is also a good time to unwind from your day. Upon completion of your client information form, your therapist will show you to a room where she will explain the massage session to you. This is the time to go over any concerns you may have. The therapist will then leave the room to give you time to prepare and relax under the warm covers. During your massage session feel free to let the therapist know if you are uncomfortable, if the temperature is not comfortable or if you want more or less pressure. It is quite normal for clients to be a little nervous during their first massage.
We are here to make your massage an enjoyable experience.
Men may have some concerns as to what to wear.
Depending on your comfort level, you may choose to wear underwear or street shorts.
Must I completely undress to receive a massage?
No, however: most massage techniques are performed with the client unclothed. You may decide what amount of clothing you prefer to wear for your own comfort.
Will I be covered during my Massage session?
Yes, you will be properly draped during the massage session. Only the area being worked on will be undraped.
What should I do during the Massage session?
Many people just close their eyes and completely relax. Others like to talk during the session. Feel free to ask the practitioner questions about massage in general or about the particular technique you are receiving.
How often should I receive massage?
When dealing with acute pain, once or twice a week will be most beneficial. However, you will receive much benefit by receiving a massage every 2-4 weeks. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health.
Should I see my chiropractor before or after my massage?
Some chiropractors maintain that adjustments last longer when preceded by massage. However, you will find either way will have healthy benefits.
Does Insurance cover Massage?
Currently, no. But hopefully in the future we will see this change.
At Circle Sage Healing and Massage Center we have teamed up with ACN and United Healthcare to offer you a 20% discount when you present your Insurance card.
Tipping
While we appreciate tips, they certainly are not expected.
Can I receive massage during my pregnancy?
Massage during pregnancy not only makes a woman feel pampered, but offers undeniable physical benefits as well. Massage can relieve fatigue, leg cramps, backaches and headaches and enhance sleep.

Yes, many chiropractors or doctors will refer their patients for massage. If you have been involved in an auto injury, contact your provider. If you do not have a provider, we can supply you with a list of providers. We will submit the insurance claim on your behalf.
How long is a massage?
1/2 hour, 1 hour, 1 1/2 hour and 2 hour massages are available.
