If you have a skin infection or other diagnosed skin condition, you may need to delay getting a massage or remain clothed for your session. If in doubt, call us to ask.

NEW CLIENTS: IMPORTANT

​If this is your first visit to Eagan Massage Center, please arrive at least 15 minutes early to fill out confidential client intake forms. You will provide critical health information and have a chance to review it with your therapist so you get the most out of your massage. You’ll discuss the reason for your visit and your therapist will answer any questions you may have.

If possible, please fill out any new client health history paperwork prior to arrival. These forms must be completed prior to the start of your massage, and any time required to finish them is part of your scheduled appointment time. We can send them to you via email for printing and completion, or they can be filled out in your car prior to your appointment.

​​WHEN YOU ARRIVE: PROCEDURE

• Entrance by appointment only; please arrive at least 10-15 minutes early.
• When you arrive, text your name and appointment time to 651-235-0889. You will be notified when it’s time to come in.
• Health screening prior to entrance.
• Masks required at all times. Wear your own, or we will provide one for you. No mask = no massage. It must cover both your nose and mouth.
• Sanitize your hands immediately upon entering; hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the facility. We also recommend washing your hands before and after your massage.
• UPDATE: We no longer take temperatures, but we are asking about COVID-19 vaccination. ​

ARE MASKS REQUIRED? YES!

Yes, masks are required. There are no exceptions. For the safety of our staff and clients, people that are unable / unwilling to wear masks are not permitted to enter Eagan Massage Center.

​We encourage people to wear surgical masks or 100% cotton masks with at least 3 layers of material. Masks must cover your chin, mouth, and nose. If your mask is too loose or too small, we will provide you with an appropriate surgical mask to wear during your massage. If you don't have one with you, we will provide a mask that must be worn.

COVID-19 / INFECTIOUS DISEASE SAFETY MEASURES: OVERVIEW

To promote safety and comfort, we have taken these steps for the benefit of our clients and staff:

• Entrance by appointment only; please arrive at least 10-15 minutes early.
• When you arrive, text your name and appointment time to 651-235-0889. You will be notified when it’s time to come in.
• Health screening prior to entrance.
• Masks required at all times. Wear your own, or we will provide one for you. No mask = no massage. It must cover both your nose and mouth.
• Sanitize your hands immediately upon entering; hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the facility. We also recommend washing your hands before and after your massage.
• Massage therapists have additional PPE they will wear during sessions. If you ask, they will wear gloves. You can choose to remain clothed.
• Staggered scheduling to minimize how many people are in lobby at any time.
• Air purifiers in each room, the lobby, and the hallway. These are highly efficient purifiers that have a True HEPA filter for viruses and allergens, carbon filter, and internal UV-C light to help make the air safer.
• Special room cleaning and laundry handling between appointments, using EPA-approved disinfectants and following CDC guidelines.

Please understand this has taken a lot of thought and research to put together. Our employees are trained to follow the new protocols and policies without exceptions. We understand that some people may not like parts of this plan, and some may decide not to return for massage until those parts are relaxed/eliminated. We hope it will not be long before that can be done.

We take the safety of you and our employees very seriously. We want to keep everyone as safe as possible during this pandemic, and so we will do our best to minimize risks for everyone.

NOTE: For those who are immune compromised and those who are otherwise particularly susceptible to respiratory infections or blood clots, we recommend that you delay getting massage therapy for now. There is ongoing research that will provide greater clarity regarding safety and risk mitigation over the next few months, and we will welcome you back when it is appropriate for us to do so.

Meet our therapists

Glossary of Terms
​These are some words used to describe various methods that therapists on our staff are trained in. Aside from a few exceptions, most fall under the umbrella term of “massage”. Most massage sessions incorporate a variety of methods that may be combined in various ways to help you. Each therapist will use what they know to help you.

Therapists with different training may provide very different experiences, and some may be better equipped to address various types of pain or other medical issues. We will attempt to help you find the right therapist(s) to meet your needs. 
 
NOTE: Many lengthy books have been written about each following term, so please understand that these definitions only give a very basic explanation. Ongoing disagreement about the scientific foundations of these explanations and new research are forcing many explanations to be updated. No matter how a massage therapist was trained, each can and should be tailored to you. 

​​Active Isolated Stretching (AIS)

​Therapeutic stretching that gently increases range of motion via an active protocol in which the therapist and client work together. AIS can be done fully clothed or as part of a massage session. This is often used as a form of graded motor exposure, and may be combined with resistance. 

Assisted Stretching (STR) 

Therapist-assisted stretching during a massage session. Assisted stretching may be passive or active, and may include nearly any style of stretching.  

​Connective Tissue (CT) 

Generic term for massage techniques designed to focus on connective tissues rather than on muscles. These techniques do not require much pressure, but may feel deep and intense. (See “Fascial Release” for more detail.) 

Cross-Fiber Friction (XF or XFF) 

Often taught as a method of "releasing stuck tissues", it is actually a form of compression that moves back and forth over a designated area. Normally combined with therapeutic massage techniques, it can be gentle or very intense depending on the amount of pressure used. 

Deep Tissue (DT) 

A generic term for describing massage techniques that attempt to use direct pressure to affect tissues deeper than the skin. Applied pressure may vary from light to very intense depending on the type of technique used. There is no consensus on what constitutes "deep tissue massage", so it is more sensible to focus on what your goals are for each session, and not on whether it's a "deep" session. 

Dermoneuromodulation (DNM) 

Based on current pain science and neuroanatomy, this provides a conceptual model for gently working with the nervous system to resolve pain and dysfunction. This training is particularly helpful for understanding chronic pain, injuries, and long-term issues that have previously resisted treatment.   

Fascial Release (MFR) 

Fascia is connective tissue found throughout the body. Fascial release techniques usually involve gentle stretching of the skin and some deeper tissues to restore normal elasticity and function.

Focused Foot Massage ​

Based on modern science and western massage methods, in a Focused Foot Massage session, we work with your feet, ankles, and legs to improve how your feet feel and function.

Injury Care ​

Recent injuries and/or surgeries present special challenges for both client and massage therapist. Injury care may involve special accommodations and/or handling of the situation in order to best promote healing. 

Joint Mobilization (JM)

Joint function and mobility may be negatively impacted by injuries, chronic irritation, and degenerative conditions. Joint mobilization techniques gently improve joint function while reducing pain, irritation, and swelling.

Lomi-lomi (LOMI)

Derived from traditional Hawaiian bodywork, this method emphasizes repetitive gliding and friction strokes, and is deeply relaxing. 

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) 

We offer Vodder-style MLD. This gentle method facilitates lymphatic flow and is particularly helpful for edema and some forms of lymphema. This is highly recommended for many health conditions and also for post-surgery when lymph nodes or vessels have been damaged or removed. 

MUSCLE ENERGY TECHNIQUE (MET) ​

A method that uses contraction and relaxation of targeted tissues to reduce pain, increase ROM and strength, and restore function to areas impaired by scar tissue within the muscles. ​

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (MFR) ​

​See “Fascial Release”.

Cranialsacral (CST)

A gentle method of calming the nervous system through slow, light work, holding/supporting the head, neck, and/or pelvis.

Esalen®

A form of Swedish-based relaxation massage known for its long, flowing, connective strokes, originally associated with the Esalen School of Massage in California.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE (MFR) ​​

​See “Fascial Release”.

Neuromuscular Therapy™ (NMT) 

A science-based approach combining clinical assessment, Muscle Energy Technique (see “Assisted Stretching”), Positional Release, and Trigger Point. It is excellent for many painful conditions.

Orthobionomy (OrthoBi) 

A method of using positioning and gentle passive movements to relax the nervous system and tight muscles. This is one specific form of Positional Release Technique (see entry).

Orthopedic Massage (ORTHO) 

A science-based approach to integrating multiple types of massage techniques to achieve a therapeutic goal. This clinical approach uses orthopedic assessment and focuses on efficient treatment of specific conditions.

Personal Training ​

Certified personal trainers have an in-depth understanding of movement and exercise. This provides insight into appropriate stretching and exercise protocols. 

Positional Release Technique (PRT) 

A generic term for bodywork methods that use body positioning to effect spontaneous release of tight muscles and connective tissue. Primarily used for muscles in chronic spasm due to injury, overuse, and poor posture.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy, Labor, and Post-Partum all present special challenges for bodywork. For client safety, special positioning and massage protocols are used to maximize healing benefits during pregnancy and post-partum recovery.

PNF Stretching (PNF) 

(proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) Originally developed for rehabilitation following spinal cord injury, in massage sessions this method uses contraction and relaxation of targeted tissues to reduce pain, increase ROM and strength, and restore function to areas impaired by scar tissue within the muscles. 

Pre/Post Natal

See “Pregnancy Massage.”

Pressure Point (PP) 

Based on oriental medicine concepts, pressure point techniques use direct pressure to stimulate changes in the body.

Reflexology

Based on oriental medicine concepts, reflexology is an ancient art of working on the feet (or hands), often resulting in deep relaxation.

Seated Chair (CHAIR)

A special chair is used so clients may sit upright during their massage. No lubrication is needed; the therapist works through the client’s clothing. Sessions vary from 5 minutes to an hour; it’s a great quick pick-me-up!

Sports Massage (SPORTS) 

Athletic activities place unusual stresses on the body. Specialized bodywork methods and protocols may be used pre-event and post-event to stimulate improved performance and recovery. 

Strain Counterstrain (SCS) 

This method uses body positioning to calm the nervous system and release muscle tension in specific areas. It is a specific type of Positional Release Technique (see entry). 

Swedish ​

This classic style is best known for massage strokes that promote deep relaxation and improve circulation. It also has a variety of other techniques with profound therapeutic benefits, and can be quite energizing. Common strokes are divided into several categories: Gliding/Effleurage (EFF), Kneading/Petrissage (PET), Percussive/Tapotement (TAP), Compressive (COM), Traction (TRA), Friction- Linear or Circular (LinFric/CirFric), and Rocking/Vibratory (VIB).

Thai Yoga Bodywork ​

This traditional method incorporates rhythmic, gentle movements, compressions, and stretches while you relax on a welcoming, padded floor mat. Wear comfortable clothing that permits easy movement; athletic wear is recommended. 

Trigger Point (TP or TrPt)

This medical-based approach identifies points of tissue irritation that may produce local or distant discomfort when stimulated, then uses direct finger pressure and other methods to resolve them. This approach is widely used in clinical work, and can be effective for many types of painful conditions.

Yoga ​

​An ancient health discipline from India, yoga trains the body to be supple, strong, and balanced, freeing the mind and spirit to expand and develop focus. An excellent form of mindful exercise, yoga practice may complement bodywork.

​“Judy saw me today and helped me more than I ever thought possible! I was riddled so full of tension and anxiety due to some recent medical complications that the stress was making my muscles tight and spamming and I couldn't calm down. After 1 hour of her working with me tonight I am more calm, relaxed and comfortable than I have been in weeks. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude. THANK YOU JUDY! You are a treasure!”
