What to Expect at Your First Appointment at Bay Massage Therapy

If you’re new to massage therapy—especially one that includes a postural assessment—here’s what a typical first session looks like:
1. Initial Intake: We’ll review your health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals to ensure the session is safe and targeted.
2. Postural Assessment: You’ll stand in a relaxed, natural position while we assess spinal alignment, shoulder and hip symmetry, and overall body mechanics. This helps identify muscular imbalances and areas of strain.
3. Therapeutic Massage: Based on the assessment, your massage will be customized to address specific areas of tension, improve mobility, and support postural correction. Techniques may include massage, myofascial release, cupping and stretch therapy.
4. Post-Treatment Review: We’ll discuss findings, expected outcomes, and any recommended home care such as stretches or strengthening exercises.

Please wear comfortable clothing for the assessment and arrive a few minutes early. Questions are always welcome—we’re here to support your health and movement goals.

Posting from our camp in Pacific City! 🌊

It’s been almost a year since I made an Instagram post. I’m still over here! Life’s been nonstop and I’m prioritizing real life over screens. 🤩

I’ve got some exciting changes coming up this summer that I am anxious to share with you soon! Last month I completed some new myofascial trainings to increase my knowledge and techniques. I am implementing those into sessions now. I am always learning to level up my practice! There is always more to learn about the human body. 🧬🦵🏼

This year I have started offering TMJ disorder massage. That’s short for temporomandibular joint. This looks like jaw pain, teeth grinding, difficulty fully opening the jaw. I’ve had a lot of success help clients go from daily jaw pain and clenching to no pain at all! It’s available on the website as a stand alone treatment or it can be a part of a 60 minute + massage.

I’ve installed mats in my office. Part of my new training is incorporating movement and stretch into sessions. 🧘‍♀️🏋️I really like using this at the end of the session as a final way to open and elongate the spine and chest for all us hunchbacks. It’s a game changer for neck, back and shoulder pain.

I am accepting new clients and books are open for May and June. 🗓️💻

* June 20th - July 14th I will be on vacation again*

If you have pain, poor posture, limited mobility or headaches I’d love to work with you. Daily pain should not be your normal. 🦽🩼
