Frequently Asked Questions

If you haven't had a massage before, there are likely to be many questions you have about what will happen during the session and what is required of you. We have tried to answer some of these below.

Even if you have had prior experience with massage, since each therapist works in their own way, you may find that certain things differ from what you are used to. Please feel free to ask about anything you are unsure of, so that we can put your mind at ease.

Do you provide the same treatment for everyone?

We definitely do not provide the same treatment for everyone. Each person has different needs and preferences, so we tailor your treatment accordingly. Massage therapy clients come in for a wide range of complaints, as do chiropractic patients.

An example regarding bodywork: A massage on one client may have more time spent on the neck and less time on the feet, whereas another may have fifty minutes on the feet and the remaining ten minutes on the hands.

Each treatment is unique to the individual need.

The work of each massage therapist is unique as well. You can expect a massage from Manfred to be different than one from Kiki.

How many sessions will I require and how frequently?

If you are having massage for stress reduction or maintenance of health, anything from weekly to monthly sessions can aid your body in achieving maximum vitality.

If we are treating you for a specific problem, we initially recommend sessions between 4 days and one week apart, so that the progress can be accurately monitored. However, a specific frequency may be required by your physician's prescription. Since every case is different, we cannot say how long it will take to work with you, but it is safe to say that a problem can rarely be solved in one session.

Do I have to have a prescription to recieve massage or chiropractic treatment?

No. You are always welcome to our office without a prescription. However, if one was given to you, please let us know so that we can provide the required care accordingly.

Is an hour massage actually an hour massage?

With us, it is. Your massage at Lucas & Lucas, LLC is scheduled for 60 minutes on the table.

What are the possible after-effects of massage?

After a relaxation massage, you are unlikely to experience any unpleasant after-effects, unless you have a highly toxic system.

After deep tissue work, you may experience muscle soreness in the areas focused on. This is just like the discomfort that may be felt after exercising.

How deep will the massage be?

We vary the depth depending on your wishes and needs. Good communication means that you get the massage you want. If you want a purely relaxing session, you can be sure that is what you will get.

Should I tip?

You should never feel pressured to tip. We will accept tips if you are so inclined, but the best tip you can give is a referral of a friend, family member or colleague. We are excited when referrals become wonderful clients, just like you.

When can't I receive massage?

Please re-schedule your session if you are running a fever, if you have been prescribed an antibiotic for a contagious disease (i.e. strep. throat, tonsillitis, bronchitis, etc.) until you have been on the medication for at least 24 hours, or if you have had vomiting or diarrhea in the past 24 hours.

Also, consider re-scheduling if you have a severe cold or throat/nasal symptoms.

We do not wish to deprive any other clients of their needed care, due to what could have been an avoidable illness on our part.
