Q. Is the massage space private?
A. The massage's therapy rooms are completely private and discreet. However, if you prefer you could choose to be treated in your own home for an additional fee. Because the extra fee for a home visit is based on travel TIME this can significantly increase the cost of your massage. If you would like a QUOTE of the cost of a home visit to you, please contact Tim advising of your precise location.
Q. Do I need to undress completely?
A. Clients often undress fully for relaxation and for ease of treatment. However, you can choose to keep your underwear on if this is more comfortable for you. Generally female clients remove their bras to make the back massage more flowing but if you wish to keep your bra on that is fine also.
Q. Do you use towels for draping?
A. Towels are available for draping during your massage, these can also be warmed for extra comfort.
Q. How long will a session last?
A. A massage session is usually 1 hour. This includes your undressing and dressing time. For new clients a free initial assessment will be made which usually takes 5 - 10 minutes to complete. Your massage time only starts once the assessment is complete.
Q. Will I be treated with respect?
A. Don't worry if you are nervous about your first massage. Tim will put you at ease, explain everything and answer any questions you may have. The Therapist and Client will treat each other with care and dignity; being clear and respectful of each other's boundaries.
Q. Do you use natural or scented oils?
A. The oil I use is Almond oil which is a natural and unscented oil. It is well absorbed by the body so you end the massage dry and free from excess oil. Because it is unscented you also leave relaxed and not fragrant.
Q. Do you use background music or massage in silence?
A. Usually the massage is conducted with relaxing music playing in the background. However, if you prefer silence that is also fine. Alternatively, if you wish to bring a CD of your own to be played because you find it relaxing you are free to do so.
Q. Do I have to book well in advance?
A. Because Tim is a solo therapist often with clients and unable to answer the phone, he has introduced a new online booking system which is the quickest and easiest way to book your massage appointment. Generally, bookings need to be made 24 hours in advance.
Q. Will I be contacted by you over the phone?
A. As some clients do not wish to receive return calls, I will only return your call if you have left a voice mail or text message indicating that you wish me to get in contact.
Q. Can I complete my assessment form in advance to save time?
A. Yes. If you want to complete your assessment form in advance, please download it, complete it and bring it with you for your 1st massage.
Q. Would I benefit from a Longer massage session?
A. If you wish a 90 minute massage session can be arranged for an additional fee.
Q. Is your service available to everyone?
A. Massage Therapy Sheffield is a massage service available to all Men and Women regardless of their Sexuality or Race or Religion. If any of these areas raise questions about receiving massage please phone me or contact me through the site, I will be happy to discuss your concerns.
