At Armored Massage, we’re passionate about helping you recover faster, perform better, and achieve your goals. Whether it’s your first sports massage or you’re a seasoned client, preparation is key to maximizing the benefits of your session. Here’s our updated guide to ensure you’re fully prepared for an exceptional experience:
1. Choose the Right Massage for Your Goals
Our team specializes in performance-based massage therapy. From sports massage to medical massage, our services are tailored to address your specific needs. If you're unsure which type of therapy is best for you, we’re happy to consult and recommend the perfect option to meet your recovery and performance goals.
2. Understand Your Insurance Options
While Armored Massage doesn’t bill insurance directly, we provide all necessary documentation, including detailed receipts and session notes, to help you submit for potential reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider to see if massage therapy is covered under your plan—especially if it's prescribed for medical necessity.
3. Book Your Appointment Early
To ensure availability and allow time to plan, we recommend booking at least a week in advance. Use this time to think about specific areas you want addressed and any goals for your session.
4. Prepare for Recovery
Post-massage recovery is crucial. Plan your day so you can rest afterward and give your muscles the time they need to recover and adapt. Avoid scheduling intense activities immediately following your session.
5. Wear Comfortable Clothing
You’ll undress to your level of comfort during your session, so choose clothing that’s easy to remove or made of breathable fabrics. If you’re receiving specific treatments like kinesiology taping, our therapists will guide you on what to wear for the best results.
6. Stay Hydrated
While the idea of toxins being “released” during massage is a myth, staying hydrated is essential for overall muscle health and recovery. Drink plenty of water before and after your session to support circulation and healing.
7. Communicate Openly
Our therapists excel at tailoring each session to your unique needs. Whether it’s adjusting pressure, targeting specific areas, or fine-tuning the room temperature, we encourage you to share feedback throughout the session.
8. Skip the Guesswork on Tipping
We don’t expect tips at Armored Massage, but they’re always appreciated if you feel inclined. Should you wish to tip, the standard amount is around 20% of your session fee. Cash is always welcome.
20% of our 60 minutes session = $17
20% of our 90 minutes session = $20
20% of our 120 minutes session = $28
9. Plan for Regular Appointments
Sports massage is most effective when incorporated into a consistent routine. Frequency depends on your activity level, performance goals, and any existing conditions. Ask our team about creating a personalized plan to keep you on track.
