Enhance Your Experience
My tips to having the best massage experience:
Before Your Massage
-Book your massage that will accommodate the amount of work you need and stay committed to coming.
-Come on time.
-Don't eat or drink at least an hour before your session.
-Turn off your cell phone. This time is all about you!
-Talk to your MT about how you're feeling, recent injuries and past surgeries. Discuss areas of concern and areas you'd like to avoid/more attention to.
-Pull your hair up high so your MT can have a better massage flow and your hair won't get as oily.
-Take off all your jewelry, watch, anklets, rings, etc.
After Your Massage
-Bring comfy clothes to dress into after your session.
-Drink lots of water for the next few days. You will most likely feel like you have a "workout" soreness. It's your toxins/lactic acid that's releasing from your muscles. It will go away within a few days.
-Rest and recover. You may be feeling tired or dizzy after your massage. There's a lot of new blood flow happening and it's ok to not have anything planned after your session but to go home and rest/sleep.
During Your Massage
-Communication is key- it's your responsibility to let your MT know if you're getting the desired pressure, areas to avoid, areas that need more attention/feel good.
-The world is so loud, it's ok to have a quiet massage session.
-Try to relax your whole body and take deep breaths. MT will be picking up your limbs, try to not help.
-Emotional releases happen all the time. They can come at any time and it's ok to let it release.
-It's ok to ask for a bathroom break. I have a robe available for you.
-Have a stuffy nose during your massage? Please let me know, there are many remedies that can help.
Book Your Next Appointment
-Get committed to Massage Therapy.
-Don't wait last minute to book your appointment.
-For routine massage sessions schedule at least 1 month in advance. For injuries book sooner.
-Avoid canceling your appointments.
