Common Questions What do I wear? When you enter the massage room, your therapist will talk to you about any specifics for your massage and then leave the room for you to get undressed. You can undress to your level of comfort. You will lie underneath the top sheet. As your massage therapist works on you, he/she will expose only the area that will be worked on.
Can I work out before my massage?
Instant Web Scheduling!

Yes, you can. But, please allow 30 minutes for your body to relax and get back to normal blood pressure and pulse. Please SHOWER before your massage if you do workout. Not only for sanitary reasons, but also our lotion will not allow a smooth glide with certain techniques.
Can I work out after my massage? Yes and No. Depending on the type of massage you received and how long it was. The deeper the work and the longer your session, your body needs recovery time. If you had a long, relaxing session, your body will not feel like doing anything but relaxing.
Do I have to talk during the session? Massage Therapy & Reflexology - office 402–472–0738 Campus Rec Center - Member Services Desk 402–472–3467 Rec & Wellness Center - Member Services Desk 402–472–2479
The main communication that needs to happen during your massage is for your comfort level, if you need more or less pressure, and/or if you experience pain in certain areas. General conversation during your massage is not necessary; you can talk as much as you would like or not at all.
Why should I drink water after my massage? It is important to replenish your body’s muscles with water. You don’t have to drink extra, unless you’re already dehydrated. We have water available in the massage office for you.
Should I keep my appointment if I start feeling sick? NO. If you start feeling sick, please call the office to cancel/reschedule your appointment. Massage will increase your symptoms and you will feel worse after your session.
Can I tip my massage therapist after the massage?

Will my insurance pay for my massage session? If you have been in an auto accident that is causing muscular pain and your doctor has prescribed massage AND the ‘at fault’ insurance company has knowledge of your prescription and will pay it; then yes, insurance will pay for your massage sessions. If you are in this situation, please inform us by having the receptionist add the information, if you call; or you can add it to the Special Needs Section as you schedule your appointment online. However, if you have other health, body alignment, and/or muscular pain that you haven’t seen your doctor for, insurance will not pay for it. You can call your insurance company to find out more information on how a massage claim is covered. If you have any questions regarding insurance payments, please call the massage office, and we will gladly help you out with any further questions.
