We all know how enjoyable a massage can be. But if you’re feeling self-conscious about it or worried about how you’ll react, here are some tips on how to make the most out of it.
Stripping off and towel etiquette.
All massage therapists will be trained in “towel etiquette” and how to preserve your modesty if you’re embarrassed about stripping off. We will explain exactly what items of clothing need to be removed and how you should lie, then leave the room so you can get undressed. If we need to turn you on your back, we’ll give you plenty of warning, and raise the towel up to provide a barrier so you can move easily.
To shave or not to shave?
Don’t worry about hairy legs or armpits. Massage therapists love the human body and we think hair is a normal and natural part of our bodies, so don’t be embarrassed or not go for a massage because you haven’t removed body hair or you feel hairy.
Snoring is a compliment
If you start snoring during a massage, please don’t worry. It happens pretty often and we take it as a compliment because it means you’re totally relaxed and at ease. If it happens, we’ll gently wake you up with a gentle touch on the shoulder.
Feeling emotional post-massage
Don’t worry if you start to feel emotional during or after a massage, we hold emotions in our body and massage can help to release them. If you are aware of being stressed, anxious, or depressed, let your massage therapist know, as he or she will take that into account and give you a massage that is safe and appropriate.
