How can anybody not enjoy a massage? Well, you’d be surprised and I’m sure it has happen to a lot of you. Can’t relax, think too much, high expectations, etc…
Here are a few tips that hopefully will help you for next time!
- Seems obvious, but don’t eat before a massage session
- You don’t have to be naked! The idea is to be comfortable and stress-free, so if the idea of being naked is too much, just wear clothes. Simple.
- Communicate. Even though massage therapists are professionals, they cannot guess all the time what you want, what you like. If a position or movement hurts, say it. If you have concerns before starting, say it.
- It’s OK to talk. You can be either silent or have a conversation, it is your choice. The therapist is there to assist you and help you after all.
- Try to use deep breathing
- Focus on the moment, on the touch and try not to think about anything else
- If you are dizzy or light headed after the massage, do not get off the table too fast.
- After massage please drink extra water.
- Quiet time after your massage session. It helps your body absorb the results.
