Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I have to be in pain to get a massage?
Not at all! While massage helps with pain and injury, it also supports posture, circulation, flexibility, stress management, and overall balance. Think of it as an investment in your wellness, not just a fix when something goes wrong.
-
What should I wear to my appointment?
We recommend wearing something comfortable and easy to change out of. Please remove all jewelry before your session so we can work without restriction and keep your experience safe and effective.
-
What about modesty and draping?
Your comfort and safety always come first. We ask that you only undress to your comfort level and request that you leave your underwear on. During your session, you’ll be properly draped with a top sheet and blanket so that only the area being worked on is exposed. Respect, privacy, and trust are at the heart of every session.
-
What will the massage feel like? Will it hurt?
Massage should never be about pushing through pain. Some techniques may feel intense when working with chronic tension, but we always stay within your comfort zone. At Integrity, communication is key—you’re encouraged to speak up, and we’ll always listen.
-
Do I need to talk during my massage?
That’s completely up to you. Some clients like to chat, others prefer quiet relaxation. At Integrity, your session is your time. We follow your lead and create an environment where you feel most comfortable.
-
How often should I get a massage?
It depends on your goals—but for true, lasting results, consistency is key. Massage is not often a one-time visit. While one session can bring relief, real change comes with regular care.
• For general wellness and stress relief, we often recommend every 2–4 weeks.
• For chronic pain, injury recovery, or intensive work, weekly sessions may be most effective at the start, tapering down as your body improves.
Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your lifestyle and helps you get the most out of every session.
-
What should I do after my massage?
After your session, we recommend drinking plenty of water, moving gently, and giving your body time to adjust. Some people feel energized, while others feel deeply relaxed. Mild soreness can occur—especially if deeper work was done—but it’s temporary and part of your body’s healing response. We’ll always provide aftercare guidance so you get the most from your session.
-
Can massage help with stress and mental health?
Absolutely. Massage calms the nervous system, lowers stress hormones, and promotes relaxation. Many clients notice not only physical relief but also a sense of emotional release and peace after a session. Caring for your body is one of the best ways to care for your mind and spirit.
-
What is MediCupping and how does it help?
MediCupping uses a controlled vacuum system to gently lift and separate tissue. This encourages circulation, relieves deep tension, supports lymphatic flow, and aids in detoxification. It’s a powerful therapeutic tool that complements massage, especially for chronic pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.
-
What makes Integrity different?
At Integrity, we believe in more than giving a massage—we believe in giving care that reflects who we are. Integrity means honesty, compassion, and respect in everything we do. Every session is tailored to your needs, using therapeutic massage and MediCupping to bring lasting results. Most importantly, we honor God’s design of the body—helping muscles support bones, restore balance, and bring you closer to living fully well.
