You will relax on a padded table designed for stability and comfort. Your therapist may offer cushions or an adjustable face rest for support. The room will be warm and quiet, with soft
music to set a relaxing mood.
Your massage therapist will use a special light oil or lotion that is good for your skin and absorbs well. A full body Swedish massage is traditionally performed with the client unclothed; however, you may undress to your comfort level. Your massage therapist will give you privacy to undress and you are normally covered except for the area being worked on. A massage or bodywork session usually begins with relatively gentle pressure to calm your nervous system and begin releasing superficial tension. Gradually, your therapist works more deeply to address specific areas.
The average full-body massage treatment lasts approximately one hour. Always allow relaxation time prior to and after the session. |
