Be as open to the process as you can.
Communicate with your therapist as to whether you like or dislike the pressure, temperature, music, etc. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or direct your therapist to a certain area and know that your comfort is of the utmost importance.
Relax and try let your thoughts go. One way to do this is to focus on how the touch or technique feels.
Remember to breathe, as this helps you relax. Sometimes people hold their breath when a sensitive area is massaged, but it is best to breathe through it.
Tightening your muscles during the massage is counterproductive. If you can’t seem to relax your muscles, let your massage therapist know. They may need to adjust the massage technique.
Feel free to bring your own music or lotion if you have specific needs. Be assertive and express your needs to make the most out of your experience.
