Question 1

Do I need to be a chiropractic patient to book a massage?

Accepted Answer

No, you do not. While Moore Massage is located inside Nesseth Chiropractic, we operate independently. We welcome everyone, whether you are receiving chiropractic care or simply looking for massage therapy.

Question 2

What should I wear during my massage?

Accepted Answer

You should undress to your comfort level. You will be securely and professionally draped with a sheet or blanket at all times during the session. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

Question 3

Does deep tissue massage have to hurt to be effective?

Accepted Answer

No. While deep tissue massage involves firmer pressure to reach deeper muscle layers, it should never be painfully unbearable. We encourage open communication during your session so we can adjust the pressure to your comfort level.

Question 4

How often should I get a massage?

Accepted Answer

This depends entirely on your goals. For general wellness and stress relief, once a month is a great maintenance schedule. If you are managing chronic pain or recovering from an injury, we may recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions initially.

Question 5

What is the difference between Swedish and Deep Tissue massage?

Accepted Answer

Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes primarily aimed at relaxing the entire body and improving circulation. Deep tissue massage uses slower, more forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, often to help with muscle damage from injuries.

Question 6

Do you accept health insurance?

Accepted Answer

We do not bill health insurance directly. However, we are happy to provide you with a detailed receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement, or use for your HSA/FSA accounts.

Question 7

Can I book a same-day appointment?

Accepted Answer

Same-day appointments are sometimes available, but we highly recommend booking in advance through our online scheduling system to ensure you get the time and day that works best for you.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We kindly ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us time to offer the spot to someone else who may need it. Late cancellations may be subject to a fee.

Question 9

Is it safe to get a massage while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, massage is generally very safe and highly beneficial during pregnancy. We offer specialized prenatal massage tailored to the needs of expectant mothers. Please let us know how far along you are when booking.

Question 10

What are the benefits of Hot Stone massage?

Accepted Answer

Hot stone massage uses smooth, heated basalt stones. The localized heat penetrates deep into the muscles, allowing the therapist to work deeply without needing to apply intense physical pressure. It's incredibly relaxing and excellent for melting away surface tension.

Question 11

Will cupping therapy leave marks on my skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cupping often leaves circular marks that look like bruises, though they are not painful like actual bruises. These marks are a normal response indicating increased circulation to the area. They typically fade within a few days to a week.

Question 12

Should I tip my massage therapist?

Accepted Answer

Gratuity is never expected or required, but it is always deeply appreciated if you feel you received exceptional service.

Question 13

How early should I arrive for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

If it is your first time visiting, please arrive 5-10 minutes early to fill out a brief intake form and discuss your goals for the session. For returning clients, arriving right at your scheduled time is perfect.

Question 14

What should I do after my massage?

Accepted Answer

We recommend drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and support your body's natural recovery process after the massage. It's also best to take it easy for the rest of the day and avoid strenuous workouts immediately following your session.
