We work with student athletes all the time, we understand the importance of taking care of their bodies and trying to avoid injury.  We are also respect that they are minors and welcome parents to sit in on their session with the therapist.  We also encourage our minor athletes to wear comfortable shorts and sports bra’s to avoid them being uncomfortable.  Please notify the front desk when booking a session for a minor.  We require that parents sign a consent for prior the session.

At Texas Massage and Bodyworks we have experienced therapists who want to provide you with the best possible experience. Even the best and most skilled therapists cannot always provide a great session without a little feed back from you. Many people think that they have to take whatever massage is given to them. The fact of the matter is that the therapist is eager to match the style of massage you are here for. The key to getting the best massage is communication! Speak with your therapist and let them know what would make it a great massage before the session starts.  

We know that the most important aspect of a massage is the pressure. We think in terms of  three basic levels of pressure:

a. Light/Relaxing
b. Medium Pressure
c. Deep Pressure

If during your massage if you feel the pressure needs to be adjusted, just let your therapist know.  They won’t mind at all.

The therapist will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table, and cover yourself with a clean sheet or towel.

Most massage and bodywork techniques are traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, it is entirely up to you what you want to wear. You should undress to your level of comfort. You will be properly draped during the entire session.

You will be properly draped at all times to keep you warm and comfortable. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders.  Your therapist may suggest working your glutes and hip rotators.  These areas hold a lot of tension in them which can contribute to a majority of low back pain.

There are numerous types of massage and bodywork; various techniques utilize different strokes, including basic rubbing strokes, rocking movement, posture and movement re-education, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

Prior to the massage, feel free to ask the therapist any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the massage, make yourself comfortable. The therapist will either gently move you or tell you what is needed throughout the session (such as lifting your arm). Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they need more or less pressure, another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

Most people feel very relaxed. If you had some specific issues that were being worked on, you could experience soreness the next day (similar to when you exercise). Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage.     Bruising is possible but not typical after a deep tissue massage.  There are many factors that play into bruising. We encourage open communication with your therapist about pressure to ensure that you are feeling like the work is productive, not necessarily painful.  Please let your therapist know if pressure needs to be adjusted.

Massage and bodywork can help release chronic muscular tension and pain, improve circulation, increase joint flexibility, reduce mental and physical fatigue and stress, promote faster healing of injured muscular tissue, improve posture, and reduce blood pressure. Massage and bodywork is also known to promote better sleep, improve concentration, reduce anxiety and create an overall sense of well-being.

Yes. That’s why it’s imperative that, before you begin your session, the therapist asks general health questions. It is very important that you inform the therapist of any health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor’s care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage or bodywork prior to any session. Depending on the condition, approval from your doctor may be required.

We do not take insurance at this time, however we will accept HSA payments.  It is up to you to verify that your HSA will cover massage therapy.  You will be responsible for the cost of the session.

We do not. We don’t have a room that is big enough to fit two tables in. However, we could get you both in at similar times in separate rooms.

If you have to ask, we are not the place for you.  We employ trained massage therapists who offer healing modalities in a highly professional, mutually respectful environment. Please refrain from using any type of sexually suggestive remarks or actions. Doing so will result in immediate termination of your massage session and you will be charged for the price of the massage.
