TAKE TIME!  Give yourself planty of time before your massage so you can relax thoroughly in a warming, soothing environment.  Warm muscles benefit most from receiving bodywork. 

SHOWER!  A warm shower, just before you get a massage washes away any salts, menerals or chemicals that could clog pores when mixed with the massage oil that will be used.  If it’s available, enjoy a sauna or steam room.  When you get finished, hop into a nice, fuzzy, warm robe.

TALK WIT H YOUR THERPIST!!!  This is incredibly important.  Before your massage begins, tell you therapist which areas you would like to have worked on (thwy will normally ask this question before your session begins) or any areas that you would like to have avoided.  During your massage therapy session, make sure to inform yout therapist if you’re feeling any discomfort.  Remeber, as with any relationship, communication is key to getting what you want. Remeber that deeper doesn’t always mean better.  Your therapist is trained in this, so let them “communicate” with your body as they know how.

RELAX!!! Close your eyes and allow your mind and bosy to shut down.  Focus on your breathing.  Make sure to inhale and exhale deeply and let tension slip away with each breath.  Remember, this is your time.  Try to let all thoughts shut down and only stay in the moment.

A massage feels incredibly good, which is one of the many reasons they are so good for you.  When the body lets go, it heals.  When your body is comfortable, mind and spirit settle.  Massage also increases your circulation, helps reduce stress, can aid in sleep disorders, headaches, improves posture, improves and streghthens your immune system and can help promote a speedy recovery from an injury.

I love, love LOVE massages ans strongly urge you to go get one today!
