Welcome to Two Rivers Massage.

If this is your first time to Two Rivers Massage, there are a few things to do. First of all, call Pam at (309) 79-RELAX (797.3529) to make your appointment. We will gladly make an appointment for you today; however if you know a day or two in advance, you can be assured of the exact day and time that you'd like.

On the day of your massage, please be sure to arrive 10 minutes early so you can complete the health intake form. Your massage therapist will go over your Health Intake Form with you to make sure we can safely offer you a massage.
Please arrive freshly showered, especially if you have a very physical job where you get sweaty or dirty.

There are a few reasons why we CANNOT do a massage on certain people. For example, if your doctor says you should be taking High Blood Pressure medications, or if you are diabetic and YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS, then we probably won't do a massage for you. If you have varicose veins, we CAN do a massage, however, we will avoid the area if they are swollen, bulbous veins.

Pregnant women are encourage to get regular massages!  It is recommended that you call your doctor and ask if a massage is okay.  We do not require a note, just a verbal approval from you. 

We pride ourselves in starting your massage on time, and not making you wait.  But we do have a few expectations of you -- 

1)  Please arrive 5-10 minutes BEFORE your scheduled massage time
2)  Turn off your cell phone so it doesn't disturb other guests
3)  Use the bathroom prior to your start time
4)  If you are late (meaning arriving here AT your start time, instead of 10 minutes early), we will only be able to massage you at the time frame reserved for you.  For example, your time frame for a one-hour massage may be from 1000a til 1100a; if you show up early, we will begin your massage promptly at 1000a and complete your massage at 1100a; if you show up at 1000a and it takes 5 minutes for you to get prepared and on your massage table, we will begin at that time and still end at 1100a and you will be asked to pay for the full hour. 
5)  If we are running late, we will give you the full hour (60 minutes);  however, if that makes you late for where you need to be, we will adjust your massage time and the rate you have to pay.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR MASSAGE
You will receive your massage on a massage table in a treatment room.  Your therapist will give you clear instructions on how to get prepared for your massage, and will leave the room while you undress.   If at any time you need clarification, be sure to ask again.

You can get totally undressed or leave your underpants on - whatever your comfort level is.  You are welcome to wear gym shorts.  Then you'll slip between soft sheets and settle in for your massage.  Remember, you are ALWAYS 100% covered with sheets and a blanket!  We will have you move your arms and legs out from under the covers only while we are working on that area.  The covers are secure and tucked in so that your privacy remains intact, and you are warm and comfortable.

The session begins with a scalp and facial massage, moves to neck and shoulders, right arm, right leg, feet, left leg, left arm. Then remaining covered, you'll roll onto your stomach where the massage starts at your feet, one leg at a time up to gluteal (rear) muscles (optional), to your back, shoulders, and neck. One limb at a time is uncovered, leaving the remainder of your body securely and warmly covered.

NOTE - some therapists begin the massage with you on your tummy.  There is no "correct" way to begin...it is up to your therapist.

Please be sure to tell your therapist if you are too warm or cold, or if the pressure is comfortable or not. It is our intention to provide the best possible massage experience for you, with your help.

HEALTH INTAKE FORM
You need to come in about 10 minutes early to complete a Health Intake Form.  If you'd like, (and this works), you can print a copy of our form, complete it at home, and bring it with you.  Still need you here early tho!   (best way to print this form, is to drag it onto your desktop, then hit print)
