How to Prepare for your First MassagE

How to Prepare for your First Massage

You may feel daunted by the prospect of your first massage. The idea of having to take your clothes off and let a stranger touch your bare skin is difficult if you’re shy or unhappy with your body.

Perhaps you’re worried about being a little bigger than you’d like, or afraid your masseuse will never have seen so many spots or blemishes on a client’s back before.

Don’t panic: these are all perfectly normal, common concerns.

However, let us set your mind at ease anyway: your masseuse or masseur has seen bodies of all shapes, sizes, and complexions before. They’re unlikely to even notice any of the little things you’re nervous about, and certainly won’t focus on them.

Their chief concern is helping you relax, making you feel better, and performing the full treatment to the very highest standard.

Still, if you’re uncertain what to expect with your first massage, the below tips will help you prepare and get the most out of it.

Relax, relax, relax

We can’t stress this enough: try your best to relax before your massage. Within moments of your treatment starting, you’ll start to wonder why you were so anxious and feel your stresses drift away.

Letting body-confidence issues get to you in the run up to your massage can impact your enjoyment of it. You may feel so tense and self-conscious that you take longer to sink into the sheer pleasure of the experience.

In the hours before your massage, take time to do things you enjoy and consider getting another treatment first. This will help you relax more and put you in the right frame of mind for luxurious pampering.

Avoid eating just before the massage

Be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid eating within two or three hours of your massage. If you must eat, keep it light.

You may feel uncomfortable if you get a massage on a full stomach. Allow your breakfast or lunch the time it needs to digest well before you lie on the table.

Speak to your therapist

Your masseuse or masseur is there to make you feel good. If you’re still nervous or don’t want them to touch certain parts of your face, back etc., tell them.

Let them know if you’re allergic to certain lotions or don’t want much oil on your skin. Highlight any areas of physical discomfort you would like them to focus on. The more you can tell them, the more satisfying and rejuvenating your massage will be.

Astra Medi Spa’s massage therapists are committed to providing the very best treatments, targeting different areas for varied results. They’re happy to discuss concerns or requests you may have. Don’t be afraid to offer feedback during the massage, either.

Enjoy your post-massage glow

Once your first massage is over, try to bask in the state of blissful relaxation as much as possible. Avoid anything that may cause you stress or frustration.

For example, if you tend to get angered by traffic, consider taking a cab or Uber to the spa instead. If you’re taking the massage on a weekday lunch break, perhaps book the afternoon off for more me-time.

Astra Medi Spa offers an outstanding portfolio of massages, including pre-natal, hot stone, and deep tissue treatments. Contact usnow to book yours!
