Adaptations for ANY body

Writer's picture: Sharon FeigalSharon Feigal


Your session is always customized for you, and I can adapt it to accommodate almost any special requirements.


Here are some notable examples:

  • If you're highly sensitive to sound, light, or touch.

    • This sensitivity is unique to each individual, so knowing specifics in advance is beneficial. I can make numerous accommodations to minimize any issues.

  • If you have difficulty staying in one position for long periods.

    • During a session, there are four general positions: supine, prone, side-lying, and sitting. Some find it sufficient to switch between these, while others may need to move more frequently. I can easily adjust!

  • If you tend to be easily cold or run too warm.

    • I offer various heating options and blankets, as well as ceiling fans and a small standing fan/heater unit.

  • If you have a recent injury, even a broken bone.

    • Even with a cast, I can work around it. Depending on the injury's recency, we may avoid the area, but many options are still available.

  • If you have a medical condition.

    • Examples include hemophilia, arthritis, an autoimmune disease, cancer, etc.

    • Please inform me in advance. Each medical condition has its best practices. In some cases, I may ask if your doctor is aware you will be receiving a massage.

  • If you are pregnant or have recently given birth.

    • Including recent miscarriage or termination.

    • Please let me know in advance so I can prepare accordingly. If you'd like to learn more about Thai massage for pre- and post-natal treatment, I will expand on this topic in another blog post.

  • If you're uncomfortable with changing clothes.

    • You may remain in your street clothes, even if they are restrictive. I only ask that you remove your shoes upon entering. Everything else can be adjusted.

  • If you have difficulty moving from chair to floor or vice versa.

    • My massage treatment is performed on a large mat on the floor. A sturdy chair with strong arms is available for assistance. I am strong and can help you transition as needed.

  • If you have allergies.

    • For cat allergies, please inform me in advance. The cats are never allowed in the massage room, so most people have no issues, but I will ensure I haven't been in contact with them in the clothing I'll be wearing. For other allergies (specific scents or strong peanut allergies), please let me know. I wash my hands before and after every massage, but it's always better to be safe. I have a strong perfume allergy myself, but I use traditional herbal preparations in my treatment room. If you have concerns, please inform me.

  • If you have older injuries or chronic problem areas that are difficult to move.

    • Some people worry that I might move their body in a way that could cause pain. I will always listen to you and stop immediately if necessary. If you inform me beforehand, I will avoid such movements entirely.


Are there situations when I might not be able to adjust?

  • Yes. My massage space is upstairs in my home, and there is no lift. If you cannot walk up the stairs to the first floor, I will not be able to provide a massage. However, if you can manage with extra time or support, I am here to help.


Do you have other suggestions for me to consider?
