You will be partially covered with another sheet or large towel. Therapists apply oil or lotion to their hands before beginning the massage. The therapist may focus on a single problem area that has been bothering you, or give you a general all-body massage. It's up to you. Most massages last about one hour.
Massage is available in places other than the office of a therapist.
Spas, health clubs, and resorts often offer massage. In addition, many therapists will go to clients' homes to provide therapy sessions. As the therapist's hands work the muscles, blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow. Lymph circulation is stimulated as well. Oxygen supply increases and circulation throughout the body is improved.
