Massage Guide
Looking for answers about your massage experience? Our Massage Guide page provides helpful insights on what to expect before, during and after your massage. From appointment details to post-massage care, this guide ensures you’re informed and ready for a relaxing visit.
What should I expect BEFORE my massage?
If this is your first massage or first visit to Relax! Massage Therapy & Skin Care, we’ll help you feel comfortable. Your therapist will discuss your session goals and answer any questions you have.
At check-in, you’ll complete a client information form to review with your therapist in the treatment room. To provide the best massage possible, your therapist will ask about any pain, goals for the session, and specific concerns.
Once all your questions are answered, it’s time to relax and enjoy your massage!
What should I expect DURING my massage?
After answering all your questions, your therapist will step out so you can undress to your comfort level. Lie comfortably on the massage table, under the provided top sheet. The sheet will remain draped over you during the massage. Your therapist may offer aromatherapy, hot towels, and one or two hot stones. They will focus on one body part at a time and ask for your feedback.
To tailor your experience, your therapist will periodically check the pressure and your comfort level. Feel free to speak up at any time—this is YOUR massage!
What should I expect AFTER my massage?
When the massage ends, your therapist will step out to give you time to get dressed. Once dressed, sit and relax until your therapist knocks on the door. They will offer fresh water and discuss a treatment plan. This may include product recommendations to help you maintain your wellness and extend your spa experience at home. This is also the time to schedule your next massage, so bring your calendar!
Your therapist will remind you to drink plenty of water, take an Epsom salt bath as needed, and stay relaxed.
