What Should I Expect During My Very First Massage?

So you’re going to take the plunge! You’ve never had a massage before, and while you’re probably excited about the experience, you may also be a little nervous. That’s normal – we all wonder about the first time we do something brand new.

We know you have questions, so let’s talk about the massage experience and give you some idea of what you will enjoy during your massage.

What Is The Urban Oasis Massage Experience?

Here at Urban Oasis, our massage therapists are highly-trained and experienced and know how to give our clients the best massage experience possible. You’ll be in good hands with Urban Oasis!

Here are a few pointers we give you before we begin:

We recommend removing all clothing and jewelry, but you’re welcome to do what best suits your comfort level.
You will be asked to lay between sheets; you will be covered at all times unless your arms, legs, or back are being worked on, for example.
We will ask you about your pressure preference before or during your session. Some areas of your body may need more pressure and some less, so you want to communicate clearly with your therapist. We may recommend upgrading to deep tissue if a deeper pressure is required.
Your therapist will also ask if you have any significant complaints or areas you would like addressed- so please communicate accordingly here.
During the massage, all that’s expected from you is to take deep breaths, fill your body with oxygen, relax, be distraction-free, and enjoy your session. (Please silence your digital devices!)

What Does An Urban Oasis Massage Involve?

Each massage is a bit different. Let’s talk about our signature offering – The Oasis Massage:

The Oasis Massage is a Swedish circulatory massage that reduces tension and soothes sore muscles while increasing blood circulation and tissue metabolism; this draws the body into a state of relaxation. Each massage therapist will tailor your massage to fit your needs. Our Oasis Massage is the perfect first-time massage!

Or you may choose our Bliss Massage:

Our Bliss Massage is the gold standard for deep relaxation, skin hydration, pain relief, and more. The Bliss session incorporates our CBD massage cream, made with the highest quality ingredients. To maximize the benefits of your Bliss session, we do not recommend showering or wiping the cream off after your session. NOTE: You won’t get high from receiving a Bliss Massage, but you will be in a deeper, less tense, and anxious state of mind. You may even feel the lingering effects of relaxation hours after your session.

If you are physically active, the Urban Oasis Sports Massage may be suitable for you:

The Sports Massage technique is focused on performance and uses compression, deep, transverse direction, and stretching that prepare the body for activity or help it recover after athletics. This type of massage applies slow, long strokes to specific tension and pain, ideal for people with chronic muscle stress or injuries, such as athletes or those who have especially tight muscles due to repetitive work.

No matter which type of Urban Oasis massage experience you choose, we promise that it will be an amazing one and one that you will want to repeat!
