Q:   What should I expect from my first session?
A:    You should plan to arrive ten to fifteen minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow time for paperwork. If you arrive late, your treatment will still end on time in consideration of the next client.
   Water and other beverages are available as you wait. Your therapist will greet you and show you to the treatment room, where you will discuss your health history, bodywork experience, preferences, and goals. Your therapist may also analyze your posture to identify structural imbalances contributing to your pain or tension. This information helps us design your session to best address your needs. If there are any areas of your body that you would rather we avoid, please let your therapist know at this time.
   Your therapist will leave the room and return once you are laying comfortably between the sheets on the table. Please undress to your level of comfort. During your massage, you will be draped to protect your privacy, so completely undressing is appropriate. If you feel more comfortable wearing undergarments, please feel free to do so.
   Throughout your session please simply relax, breathe and allow us to move your limbs without assistance. Your therapist will check in with you periodically for feedback on pressure and your general comfort. Please speak up if you become uncomfortable for any reason. If you feel pain, if you need more pressure, if the room is too warm or too chilled, if the music too loud, if your sinuses become uncomfortably congested, we need you to let us know! Our work will be most effective if you are comfortable and completely relaxed.
   When your session is over, your therapist will leave you to rest for a few minutes. Take your time getting up, note any changes in your body, and let everything sink in. When you're ready, come back to the reception area and enjoy a glass of water before checking out.

Q:   Where should I park?
A:    At our Triangle location, free parking is available just across from us in the multi-level parking garage.
   There is plenty of free parking near the Saltillo Lofts on either side of the Saltillo plaza or on the street on 5th or Comal. If the space is free, you may also park in the covered space labeled #107 directly behind the lofts.

Q:    What is your tipping policy?
A:    Though not required, gratuities are a great way to show appreciation for the quality service offered by our therapists. Tips average between 15% - 25% of the service price. You may leave a tip in cash or add it to your credit card at check out.

Q:    How often should I get a massage?
A:    Massage has a cumulative effect. While a single massage as a treat to yourself is wonderful, regular massage - whatever the frequency - can lead to profound and long-lasting changes. Depending on your personal preference, your budget, and your needs, you may choose to come every week or just a few times a year. Everyone's needs are different, but generally speaking, once a month provides "maintenance" of previous progress, while more frequent visits create more long-term change. For acute issues such as injury recovery or chronic pain, frequent visits are recommended initially.

Q:    Can you treat medical conditions or injuries? If so, is insurance accepted?
A:    Massage therapists cannot legally diagnose or treat any condition. However, many of our therapists have extensive experience dealing with certain injuries and medical conditions, and with your doctor's permission we can work with you to speed your full recovery. We encourage you to consult with us to explore the appropriate treatment options for your condition.
   We will file PIP (Personal Injury Protection) claims following auto accidents, and we accept HSA/FSA (Health Savings Accounts) cards. We do not accept other forms of medical insurance, but we can provide you with the necessary documentation to file for reimbursement. Please check with your company for benefits and any documentation requirements.

Q:    I really need a massage, but I can't afford your rates. Is there anything you can do?
A:    We offer a variety of packages at reduced rates, and we also offer a sliding scale on a case by case basis. Please contact us to discuss your situation.

Q:    I suffer from allergies or chemical sensitivities. Is your space safe?
A:    We have done our best to make Myo a safe environment for those with sensitivities. In our construction process, we used zero VOC paints and floating floor coverings; we clean our space and wash our sheets with unscented natural products, and we stock unscented hypoallergenic lotions. Since the building and our furnishings are relatively new, however, it is impossible to guarantee that they have completely aired, and we cannot control the scents other clients bring to our space. Certain of our products do contain essential oils. Please feel free to come visit our space before making an appointment. With prior notice, we can also remove all rugs, product containers and other questionable items from your treatment room. Alternately, consider booking an out-call.

Q:   I can't make it to my appointment. Is there a cancellation fee?
A:    The cancellation policy is well defined in the Policies section of our website. Most services may be cancelled up to 2 hours before the service time. In case of late cancellation or no show, 50% of the service price (before discounts) will be charged to your account.
