A quality massage can help you feel rejuvenated and more energetic for days. Here are 5 tips to help you get the most out of your massage therapy experience.
- Avoid Large Meals – When your stomach is full, it may be uncomfortable lying on the massage table and you could end up feeling nauseated. Eating a light, healthy snack is the best choice.
- Leave Your Electronics Behind – Getting a massage is one of the few places where you can, and are encouraged, to push distractions aside.
- Less Is More – Generally speaking you don’t have to undress completely if that makes you uncomfortable. However your massage therapist will find it easier to work on your muscles with less clothing on. Massage therapists are trained in sheet-draping, so you will always be fully covered with the exception if the area being worked on.
- Speak Up – Don’t be shy to speak up during a massage, your massage therapist will not be offended. In fact, the open communication is appreciated. If you would like more or less pressure, let your therapist know so they can adjust.
- Drink Water – Massage releases toxins, not only will water help to flush out these toxins but it will also help get your muscles re-hydrated.
