How to Receive a Massage

You must relax. For those who find this hard to do, here are a few hints: breathe deeply and regularly, stressing exhalation. While the therapist's hands locate areas of tension, consciously let go and relax. Talk, for the most part is unnecessary, do not feel obligated to make conversation to be polite. However, feel free to give your therapist feedback. Ask questions when you have them. Speak up if you feel too cold or too hot, experience discomfort, or desire more or less pressure.

What to Expect During Your Massage

Massage sessions take place in a warm, comfortable room. Soft music is played to help you relax while you lie on a table designed for your comfort. Light oil and/or cream will be used to reduce skin friction and hydrate the skin. A typical full-body session will include work on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. Massage is a productive downtime. It lets your mind move into a state of deep relaxation, leaving your whole system revitalized.
