Your massage therapist sees many clients with varying needs. To assure the best possible massage experience you should try to get comfortable with your own goals and comfort levels. Here are several tips to help you get the best massage experience:
- Outline your goals. What are you hoping to achieve through massage therapy? The more we know about your hopes and expectations, the better your experience will be.
- Let us know what you are comfortable with.We want you to be relaxed when you are here. If something makes you uncomfortable, let us know so we can resolve the issue.
- Point out pain areas. If you are in pain, please let us know before you begin a session. We want to help you relieve areas of tension and pain—not cause more by working on a sensitive area.
- Hydrate. Drinking plenty of water can increase the benefits of your massage; hydrate both before and after your sessions.
- Creating a relaxing environment. What will make you the most relaxed? Let us know if the room is too warm or cool for your comfort, or if you would like the music louder or softer. Everything is customizable to your specific need.
- Refrain from eating. It is best not to eat anything heavy before or directly after your massage. Try to schedule massages at a time you can refrain from eating an hour before and an hour after your session.
- Be on time for your appointment.Get the most out of your session by arriving on time so that we can ensure you and other clients get the attention you deserve.
- Talk or don’t talk; it’s your choice. Many clients enjoy conversing with their therapist during their session, while others prefer to relax and be quiet. It is perfectly okay to do either. But if you wish to be quiet and simply enjoy the massage, know that your therapist will not be offended by your silence.
- Aromatherapy lotion preferences.Aromatherapy lotions are used to help enhance the massage experience. If you have any aversions to any specific aromatherapies or essential oils please let your therapist know.
- Try to relax your muscles and mind before and during your massage. The more you can let go of the tension in your body, the greater the effect your massage will have on the body.
