When you come to The Journey for
a massage therapy session, you will be greeted warmly. You then will complete an
intake and consent form. For a full body massage, most people disrobe
completely, though you can choose to wear underwear. You will lie on a massage
table especially designed for your comfort. Throughout the massage therapy
session, you are warmly draped at all times, except for the area being worked
on. Massage oil will be used as required. Soft music will also be played to
enhance your relaxation. Please refrain from eating for an hour prior to the
massage.
In order to tailor a massage session to fit your needs, please be thorough in
describing your current physical condition and inquire any concerns you may have
about your health, body or the massage you are about to receive.
You can choose your massage session to be either 60 minutes or 90 minutes. A full body massage session is able to be completed in 60 minutes, however, 90 minutes can enhance the maximum results of relaxation and revitalization.
The Journey also provides on-site massage therapy session in your own home if you live in Brentwood and Franklin, TN areas.
