Preparation for Massage - You will be much more relaxed if you don't eat for 1 to 2 hours before the massage.
- You can start the relaxation process even before the massage by taking a hot shower, bath or sauna first.
- Take off any jewelry that could cause scratching or interfere with having a continuous massage. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, remove them so that it is safe to massage around your eyes.
- Massaging the scalp is a fovorite for many people, but if are concerned about getting oil in your hair you can pin it up.
- Try to avoid chatting. Being quiet will allow you to tune into your experience more fully and to relax more deeply. However, do give your therapist feedback regarding the pressure this is most comfortable for you and feel free to ask any questions relating to your session. You don't need to help by lifting your head, arms or legs. Let your therapist do all the work.
