Omaha Massage and Healing Arts

We do not.

It’s a great idea to give yourself some additional time after your massage to continue relaxing and to allow your body to fully absorb the benefits of massage. We leave plenty of time in between appointments so that you never feel hurried and can take your time before you head out the door.

It is important for you to fully complete your Health Questionnaire and keep your therapist up to date on your condition. Not all types of massage are appropriate for all conditions.

A massage will likely just make you feel worse. If you are sick, you may get your therapist sick and pass it on to other clients that day. Even if you are giving less than a 24 hour notice, we prefer you reschedule your appointment if you are feeling unwell, so let us know as soon as possible.

You will experience the greatest benefits from your session if you just allow yourself to become quiet and relaxed…which helps your massage therapist focus on providing a great massage! Definitely communicate with your therapist if you feel any pain or discomfort, if you have any concerns during your massage, or if there is anything your massage therapist can do to make you more comfortable. Some types of massage that work on deep layers of muscle and tissue, such as deep tissue or sports massage, will require more feedback to ensure that the pressure is not uncomfortable.

You are encouraged to openly communicate with the massage therapist about your preferences and comfort. If anything needs to be adjusted, or if we are almost (but not quite) getting the right spot, just speak up and let us know right away! ​ However, it is a myth that massage therapy needs to hurt in order to be effective. Some of the most effective techniques involve very light, gentle touch. Often, too much pressure can cause muscles to tighten further, and detract from the effectiveness of your treatment.

You don’t need to necessarily shower right before your massage, but do we ask that you come to your appointments clean and free of fragranced personal care products.

We accept cash, check, credit card, or gift certificates. A credit or debit card is required to is reserve your appointment, however you are not charged for anything until after the appointment is completed. After your appointment, you can choose another form of payment.

Yes, you receive the full amount of treatment time that you’ve scheduled, as long as you arrive on-time for your appointment.

We provide towels and linens for proper draping, so you are never exposed at any point during the body wrap. We apply the warmed product of your chosen body wrap to the entire back, legs, arms, upper chest and abdomen if you would like. If there are any areas you would like us to avoid please let us know. You are then wrapped in 4 layers (2 sheets, a solar blanket and a light blanket). We can wrap you looser or leave the feet and neck more open if you tend to feel claustrophobic. You are in the wrap for about 30-minutes. During that time a 15-minute scalp massage is given and also time for you to just be present in the wrap. Your therapist will remain in the room in case you would like to be let out of the wrap early. You then shower and rinse the product off.

Hi Teresa, We do not. Thank you!
