The massage takes place on a comfortable, padded massage table. The massage therapist will tell you what position to lie in on the table. If you don't like using any attachments, ask the massage therapist to remove it or not use it. Expect a peaceful and comfortable environment for the massage. The massage therapist may play music during the massage.
Some people find music playing to be relaxing, some find it distracting.
If you don't like music playing, ask the massage therapist to change the music or turn the music off. Before the massage begins, the massage therapist may offer some advice that will improve the quality of your massage. A common one is to breathe, especially if a sensitive area is being massaged. The massage therapist may use oil or lotion, which reduces drag on the skin while performing the massage strokes. If you are allergic to some oils or lotions, be sure to tell your massage therapist so you both can make sure the ingredients in the oil or lotion do not bother you.
