Having a Great Massage

Having a Great Massage

Massage can be one of the most relaxing experiences for some, meanwhile, it can be completely daunting to another.  It seems that people feel uncomfortable when allowing a stranger to massage the kinks from their over-worked body.  A great massage boosts immunity, increases blood circulation, aides in sleep, and wakes endorphins.  Don’t miss out on this amazing service because of unnecessary discomfort. 



 A good massage therapist knows:

- The client sets the mood. 
If you are there to relax, not talk, simply enjoy the service quietly and your therapist should know that you prefer silence.  If you get stuck with a therapist who wants to gab when you want to relax quietly, just continue on your peaceful journey to relaxation by ignoring him or her.

- Nobodies body is perfect. 
Don’t be embarrassed if you have “problem areas’ – everyone does!  Just think of your therapist as a medical doctor.

- Performing a great service is more money in their pocket. 
Word of mouth is very powerful in the spa industry.

- You might drool, have peculiar breathing, and fall asleep during the service. 
This indicates that you are relaxing fully and is actually a compliment to your therapist.

- If you are displeased with the music, ask him or her to change it – if it is possible, they will be more than happy to oblige.

- As a client, try to appreciate the hard work that goes into this profession.  Massaging several people every day is hard on their body.  Your therapist is sacrificing their own bodily comfort to ensure yours.
