Questions? we’ve Got Answers.

  • Yes. You’ll complete a brief intake form online before your first appointment. This gives me time to review your goals, preferences, and anything that may affect your session before you arrive. You’ll just update this before future sessions.

    The intake form can also be found HERE.

  • Parking is available around the building. Please use the north entrance of 11430 Hamilton Ave. Still Currents is located upstairs, with restrooms available at the top of the stairs before you enter the office.

    Please note: the office is accessible by stairs only.

  • No. Still Currents is located on the second floor and is accessible by stairs only. There is no elevator. If you have any questions about access before booking, please contact us.

  • For most therapeutic massage sessions, undressing completely is recommended. This allows for more effective therapeutic work and seamless movement between areas of the body without clothing limiting the session. You’ll be professionally draped throughout, with only the area being worked on uncovered. If you prefer to leave clothing on, that’s completely fine. Your comfort and boundaries are always respected.

  • Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for massage services when permitted by your plan. Eligibility and documentation requirements vary, so check with your plan administrator to confirm that massage therapy qualifies under your benefits.

  • Therapeutic massage may involve some discomfort when working with areas of significant tension, but it should never feel unbearable. Pressure can always be adjusted, and communication is encouraged throughout the session. Some temporary soreness afterward is possible, particularly after focused therapeutic work.

  • Not unless you want to. There may be occasional check-ins about pressure, comfort, or how your body is responding, but otherwise you’re welcome to relax quietly and enjoy your session.

  • Yes. In Ohio, massage is generally subject to sales tax. However, massage provided on the order of certain licensed healthcare providers may be exempt from sales tax. Please provide the order before your appointment so the exemption can be applied.
