When you arrive for your massage therapy session, you will be asked to fill out a health history form. This form will help your therapist determine if there are any areas of your body that need to be avoided during the massage.
You will then be asked to lie down on the massage table, underneath a sheet or towel. Your therapist will then begin the massage, using lotion or oil to help their hands glide over your skin.
During the massage, you may feel some discomfort as your therapist works on knots or tight muscles. However, the overall goal of the massage is to relax your body and mind, so if you feel pain, be sure to tell your therapist.
After the massage, you will likely feel very relaxed and may even fall asleep. Your therapist will then leave the room, giving you time to get up and get dressed.
