If possible, rest or take a walk after a massage to allow some time to adjust to your new relaxed state. I find this helps me get the most out of a massage.
Here are some useful questions you may want to ask before going to a massage:
- Is this type of bodywork done fully clothed?
- How much does it cost?
- How long are appointments?
- Are you willing to do this work at my house?
- Do you use scented oil?
- Do you have a waiting room?
- Is this a non-sexual type of massage?
- Is this a gentle massage?
- What is your cancellation policy?
Here are some tips for during the massage:
- If the massage is too light or too hard, ask to have the pressure changed. Some massages are only light (Rosen, Feldenkrais, etc.) but asking is appropriate.
- If you are uncomfortable (need heat turned up, less blankets, light moved), say something.
- Tell the practitioner where you hurt. This way the massage can focus on where you need it most.
