Frequently Asked Questions

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that can help to correct distorted patterns in the whole body(not just the head or sacrum!) that are quite common in most-due to injury or trauma(emotional or physical). These pain patterns are often foundational to long standing chronic and persistent conditions. When there is restriction in the nervous system and soft tissues, CST can assist in guiding the body to gently and effectively resolve blocks that have accumulated and become concentrated in certain areas over time.  This can help alleviate pain and dysfunction in the body, and restore CSF(Cerebral Spinal Fluid) balance to allow the body to efficiently heal and deeply relax throughout.

If you’ve had a sudden or “acute” injury, it would be best to allow between 48-72 hours before coming in for treatment.  Remember in these instances that “Ice is Nice” and that applying heat can have just the opposite effect when applied to acute injuries.

If you have any acute contagious infections such as cellulitis with MRSA or ringworm for example.  Once you have completed a course of antibiotics or the rash has cleared you can resume massage.

If you are sick you should rest and reschedule, especially if you suspect you may have a fever.  Having a massage in this condition may rapidly worsen your symptoms and could possibly spike your fever!  Also, now with Covid 19, you must complete an additional screening intake form prior to your session.

Important Note:  If you arrive at your appointment and it is clear you should not be having massage because of a medically-related condition, your appointment will be rescheduled.  Please call me in advance if you are unsure of whether to keep your appointment or reschedule it.  Always better to be safe and cautious, especially with the current state of public health we are experiencing.

Milford Massage is located right off the Milford Oval, directly across the street from the historic landmark Olde Kilkenny Irish Pub on 30 Middle Street.  The entrance to the space is the door on the left(you will see a bright "Milford Massage and Bodywork" logo in the glass window of the door).  Free parking is conveniently located in the side lot right next to the building.

At this time, I do not accept insurance.   If you have been in a motor vehicle accident or are receiving a massage for a workman's compensation accident, I can work with you to provide the necessary documentation for reimbursement.  However, bear in mind that it will initially be an out-of-pocket expense.  I am in the process of setting up an arrangement with a payment company that allows you to pay by installments in order to make regular treatment more budget-friendly.

At least 24 hours notice is requested out of consideration.  This amount of time gives me a chance to be able to fill this time with someone who may be really in need.  No shows and appointments canceled within 24 hours will be charged the full amount of the massage (unless due to snow, sudden illness, or some type of family emergency) and must be paid for prior to booking subsequent appointments.
