Tips for Getting Your First Massage

The idea behind getting a massage is that you allow our experts to soothe your mind, body, and spirit. For improving immunity, balancing circulation, and decreasing anxiety, there's really nothing better than a professional massage. You might even realize you sleep better after getting one! But, if you have never experienced the joys of a massage, here are some things you should know before your first one:

1. Don't wear aftershave or perfume. Though you may think your cologne is great, it might be a little too strong for your Massage Therapist. Since you will be in close proximity to one another, we suggest saving the application for after your massage.
2. Point out your problematic areas. If you have any health conditions or concerns, make sure your Massage Therapist is aware prior to beginning the process. This is especially true if you are someone who bruises easily but has opted for a deep tissue massage. Letting the Therapist know afterwards is too late.
3. Don't be afraid to ask for more or less pressure. Your Massage Therapist is there with the intention of helping you relax and relieve tension. If you feel he or she is being too soft or too hard, it is important to speak up. We can only provide the best experience when you share what feels and works best for you!
4. Relax and enjoy. You really can just take this time to relax and enjoy. You don't have to hold a conversation with our Massage Therapists. You can remain still and quiet if that's what helps you truly benefit from the service. Of course, you are welcome to talk and if you need to say something, don't hesitate.
5. Just breathe. You may not realize it, but many people have a tendency to hold their breath while they are getting a massage. If your Massage Therapist is working out a knot it is important that you breathe through that. Plus, holding your breath makes your muscles tense and deprives them of the oxygenated blood that they require for optimal healing and release.
6. Drink plenty of water afterwards. During massage, it is common for muscles to get dehydrated. Muscles that are tense lose their ability to flush out metabolic waste. Once they have been relaxed by the Massage Therapist, it is essential that you drink plenty of water so they can function properly.
