| What to expect at an appointment: The first visit will last about one and one half hours. Subsequent visits will last from firty-five minutes to sixty minutes. You lie down fully clothed on a massage table. The practitioner's hands will move above or lightly touch your body. Many people relax so deeply during a session that they drift in and out of a restful sleep. Many feel refreshed, stronger and some are even free of their earlier existing problem. There is no guarantee what the results will be, except you will feel more relaxed! |
