Frequently Asked Questions.

How are you different from other massage therapists?

What sets IHT apart from a majority of other providers is Thomas’s goal is to help you find the source of your discomfort, identify the daily habits that may be contributing to it, and explain to you how and why they affect your well-being. Then, he will apply orthopedic-style protocols to address the issues that he has discovered. By the end of the session, you should feel a noticeable reduction or elimination of your discomfort. Or is you are stressed out and just want to relax then Thomas will give you a relaxing massage to help you de-stress.

How much pain relief can I expect from your service?

Each session will begin with an assessment to identify the injury and level of severity. From there Thomas will work with the client to create a roadmap towards relief. This will vary to match each person’s unique experience. Thomas will also incorporate lifestyle and self care recommendations into the plan in order to achieve sustainable results. It is important to note, severe injuries and sharp pain warrant medical attention.

Do I need to disrobe for the first session?

No, you may not need to disrobe for the first session. You should wear workout attire (gym shorts / t-shirt) so that Thomas can do assessments and explain what is going on with your body. Then he will apply some orthopedic-style protocols while you are in your workout attire. If you don’t have many issues, there may be enough time for a partial maintenance massage where you can disrobe. However if you are wanting a relaxing massage session then you would need to disrobe to your comfort level for the session.

For a Craniosacral Therapy session, you will not be disrobing at all, you will just be laying on your back. Wear comfortable clothing.

Can I just get a relaxing or deep tissue massage from you?

Yes, if you just want a relaxing massage just let Thomas know when you arrive for your session. Thomas can usually give what most people call a deep tissue massage. Deep pressure is subjective from person to person.

What should I do to prep before a therapy session?

Please complete all intake and consent forms prior to arriving for your session. All paperwork is done online.

If you are allergic to any oil or lotion, please inform Thomas ahead of time. If you are very allergic to any oil or lotion, please feel free to bring an oil or lotion that you use and know is safe for your body for Thomas to use on you.

Please pay with a credit/debit card. Thomas does not have exact change for cash.

What is the suggested gratuity for each session?

No tipping is needed, the price of your session is all inclusive.

What are your rates for “Enhancements”?

Thomas will never charge extra for enhancements. At Inclusive Health therapies, Thomas believes that whatever modality and tools are needed should be employed to help his clients obtain the best result without additional costs impacting the treatment plan.

Does massage therapy interfere with prescription medication?

If you are taking any prescriptions, please find out about any contraindications that your prescription may have. Example: Some blood thinning medications do not allow massage therapy, as the massage may cause internal bleeding. So please ask your doctor if it is ok for you to receive massage therapy if you are taking any prescriptions.

Do you offer therapy sessions for couples?

Thomas will customize sessions to teach couples how to work on each other fully clothed. Please inquire for more details if interested.
