This will help the therapist design a massage that will be most beneficial for you and will indicate any conditions for which massage is not appropriate. After explaining the process to you, the therapist will leave the room while you undress and lie on a table which is specially designed for strength and comfort. You will be covered by a sheet, but a blanket is available should you need more warmth. The room will be quiet with soft music to enhance the relaxation experience. Lie back and get comfortable.
Most people begin by closing their eyes and taking a few deep breaths.
You may wish to just relax quietly and absorb the experience, taking time to connect with your body parts as they are massaged. Express any concerns or discomfort to you therapist. She will welcome your input and make any adjustments necessary. Remember that this is your massage. Tell the therapist about specific areas where you feel tension.
