How to Receive a Massage
Clothing
Traditional Massage Session
Since Swedish Massage is the style I use most, the client will be draped or covered. Only the area that is being worked on is uncovered, my training included learning skills in draping a person such that privacy is respected. Undergarments and jewelry can get in the way of long gliding strokes. It is my recommendation that you dress down completely. If you feel uncomfortable about receiving a massage completely undressed, that's perfectly fine. Since the entire process relies upon your ability to relax, it is most important that you are comfortable. I will step out of the room for your privacy while you get undressed and dressed. Your modesty will be protected at all times!
Therapeutic Massage Session
It is best to wear flexible sports clothing like shorts or full length tights, anything that doesn't restrict movement. For women, the sports top works great!
Breathing
Brief moments of specifically directed deep pressure to a connective tissue or skeletal muscle can bring discomfort and have you tense-up holding your breath. Keep breathing!!
Focusing your mind on your breath helps bring oxygen to the muscle tissue reducing discomfort and speeding recovery following the session.
