Some treatments require disrobing, but you are covered with a comfortable sheet for modesty. Disrobing gives the therapist more access to your body to provide effective treatments, but it will also protect your clothing from stains.

Some of the most popular scents for pain relief include: · Peppermint · Lavender · Chamomile · Eucalyptus  · Wintergreen · Juniper  In addition, you can listen to calming music to help you relax during your treatment.
