No, we do not have a shower facility for massage therapy clients.
At Human Integrated Performance, we offer massages that help with deep tissues, cupping for myofascial tissues, relaxation, and sports massage.
The average massage therapy session is 30 minutes to 1 hour long. But the therapist can make it shorter or longer, depending on what kind of massage you want and how long you want it. For example, if you want a deep tissue massage, it may be more than 1 hour. If you just want to relax, it may be only 30 minutes. It is best to talk with your massage therapist before the massage. This way you can figure out how long the massage should be.
Massage therapy can be used alongside various therapies and treatments to enhance overall health and well-being. It complements physical therapy, chiropractic care, and sports medicine by promoting muscle relaxation, pain reduction, and improved flexibility. Additionally, it can aid in stress reduction, mental health support, and postoperative recovery. Massage therapy is often integrated into complementary medicine practices, pregnancy care, and cancer treatment support. While it offers numerous benefits, it should be used in conjunction with medical advice and treatment, ensuring a collaborative and safe approach to holistic health.
There are some medical conditions where it is not safe to have massage therapy. This includes things like recent surgery, skin conditions, and fractures. If you have any of these medical conditions, you need to tell your massage therapist before you get a massage.

After your massage therapy session, it is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins released during the massage. Try to take some time to relax and enjoy the feeling of relaxation after your session. You may also want to avoid strenuous activities and avoid alcohol or heavy meals for a few hours to enhance the benefits of the massage.
