A lot of people wonder if they should feel obliged to make conversation during their treatment. Some like to chat throughout, while others prefer to drift off in a state of deep relaxation. Certainly, the latter is the best way to unwind completely.
If you feel awkward at all, simply tell the therapist at the beginning of the treatment that you’re going to close your eyes and relax. They may ask you if you’re warm enough, or if the pressure of the massage is right for you, or the volume of the gentle background music, but other than that, nobody is expecting a lively debate during your treatment.
