Tips for a Relaxing & Enjoyable Your Session

• Before the session, give your massage therapist accurate health information and share your expectations.

• Your massage therapist will probably use oils or lotions to decrease friction on your skin. If you have allergies, tell your massage therapist.

• Music might be played during your massage session. If you find music distracting, let your massage therapist know your preferences. The same goes for talking during your session.

• Report any discomfort you experience during the massage session, whether it’s physical or has something to do with the environment.

• Provide your massage therapist feedback during the massage concerning pressure and speed of hand movement, for example.

• Discuss any apprehensions you have about massage therapy with your massage therapist. Remember, your massage therapist is a professional who is dedicated to the profession.

• Remember, the therapeutic benefits of massage are cumulative so the more often you get a massage the better you will feel and the more quickly your body will respond.
