There is time set aside at the beginning of the treatment for you to talk to your massage therapist discussing your health care goals. The initial moments here are great for addressing any concerns you may have regarding the massage. If you have any questions, all our massage therapists encourage you to ask, no matter how silly or unimportant you think they are! It's better to have them clarified and answered so that you can feel at ease and relaxed when you are at the table. Once you are on the table and the therapist starts massaging, it is preferable for talking to be kept at a minimum. This is because not only does it help our therapists focus on the treatment, but it also benefits the client to tune in to their body and relax. Nevertheless, there are people who prefer to talk because the conversation helps them relax. In this case, this will usually be at the beginning of the treatment and then the talking will generally taper off. If you are in no way comfortable with silence, the therapist may request some breathing exercises if the talking is interfering with the treatment.
