If you’ve never visited a Registered Massage Therapist before, you might be wondering what happens during your first appointment. At Artemis Wellness Clinic in Richmond, we want you to feel comfortable and informed from the moment you arrive.
Your first RMT session will typically begin with a brief health history intake. Your therapist will ask about your current concerns, any past injuries or medical conditions, and your treatment goals. This information helps us create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
After the consultation, your therapist will leave the room while you undress to your comfort level and position yourself on the massage table under a sheet or blanket. Only the area being treated will be uncovered during the session — your privacy and comfort are always respected.
During the massage, your RMT will use various techniques depending on your needs, which may include Swedish massage, deep tissue work, myofascial release, or trigger point therapy. Feel free to communicate with your therapist about pressure levels or any discomfort throughout the treatment.
Most sessions at our Richmond clinic last 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. After your massage, your RMT may recommend stretches, exercises, or lifestyle modifications to support your healing between visits. Book your first RMT appointment today and start your journey to better wellness.
