FAQS

ANVIL Bodyworks provides tailored bodywork sessions for each client. We hope to answer your questions beforehand to ensure open and mindful communication when addressing your health goals and concerns.

What are the proven benefits of massage therapy?

Massage therapy provides various benefits, including improved sleep quality, better blood circulation, reduced stress, and enhanced flexibility. It helps relax tense muscles, decreases joint inflammation, and accelerates recovery after physical activity. Massage also alleviates pain and soreness, strengthens the immune system, and promotes overall well-being by calming the nervous system and increasing blood flow. These benefits make it a versatile solution for managing physical discomfort, enhancing mobility, and improving mental and emotional health.

What is the best length of time for a massage?

At ANVIL Bodyworks, the best massage length depends on your needs and goals. A 60-minute session is great for general relaxation and addressing moderate tension, while 90 or 120 minutes allow for more comprehensive full-body work and focus on chronic issues. Chris, ensures that every session is tailored to maximize your well-being, no matter the duration. Any massage time is beneficial for stress relief, improved flexibility, and overall relaxation. Book your session today to experience the benefits!

Every visit, I (Chris) will take time to understand your goals for the session. We'll go over any areas of concern, and I'll explain how I can customize the massage to meet your needs. Your comfort is my top priority, and I'll make sure you feel at ease from start to finish.

How often should I get a massage for optimal results? 

The frequency depends on your individual needs. Whether it's for stress relief, chronic pain, or athletic recovery, I usually recommend starting with a biweekly session and adjusting from there based on how your body responds.

What should I wear for my massage?

I always encourage clients to wear whatever feels comfortable. You'll be covered with a sheet during the massage, and only the area I'm working on will be exposed. your comfort and privacy are always respected.

Can I request a specific technique or pressure level?

Absolutely! I specialize in various techniques and always adjust the pressure to match your preference. Feel free to let me know during the session if you'd like me to use more or less pressure.

What’s included in my session?

At ANVIL Bodyworks, every session includes a tailored experience without any additional fees for incorporating different techniques. You'll enjoy options like hot stones, aromatherapy, and neurostimulation (MPS) within the same session, depending on what's best for your needs.

Can massage therapy help with chronic pain?

Yes, many of my clients find relief from chronic pain with regular massage sessions. By using deep tissue, myofascial release, and other modalities, I help target specific problem areas to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility.

Do I need to tip after my session?

Tipping is entirely up to you. My focus is to ensure you have an amazing experience, and gratuity is not required but always appreciated if you feel inclined.

What are the benefits of combining different techniques in one session?

Each technique offers unique benefits, and integrating multiple approaches helps me provide a more comprehensive treatment. Whether it's deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, or reflexology, combining methods allows me to address your concerns more holistically.

How do I prepare for my massage?

It's a good idea to hydrate before and after your session. Wear comfortable clothes, and arrive a few minutes early so we can discuss any specific areas you'd like to focus on during the massage.

Can massage therapy help with stress and anxiety?

Definitely! Massage therapy is an excellent way to lower stress levels and promote relaxation. Many of my clients notice an immediate improvement in their mood and feel more balanced after a session.
