	The purpose of care is to restore the whole person and not to treat isolated symptoms or diseases. — Journal Chiro Humanities (1994)
	Frequently Asked Questions: How much space does your massage program take? The amount of space required for Tension Tamers massage therapy service is dependent upon how many therapists are needed at once and the size of the allocated area. A minimum of 5' x 6' area per therapist/client/massage chair keeps everyone comfortable. Do I remove my clothing for massage? No. Our clients remain fully clothed. Do you use lotion or oils in massage? No. Our therapist use pressure point techniques to prevent slipping and skin burn. What if I want more or less pressure? Each person has a different idea of what feels good. Our therapists are aware that sensitive areas indicate a site of injury or potential injury. We encourage our clients to communicate their comfort level with their therapist. What about hygiene? Our therapists use a fresh face-cradle cover and sanitize hands and the massage chair between clients. What are contraindications for chair massage?
