How to get the most from your massage

You've booked your appointment — here are a few simple things that help you get the most from it.

Before your session

• Arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in and aren't rushing through the door.
• Have a light snack beforehand rather than coming in very hungry or very full.
• Think about your focus. If there's a particular area you'd like worked on, jot it down or mention it when you arrive.

During

Communication is everything. Let your therapist know if you'd like more or less pressure — there's no "right" amount, only what feels right for you on the day. If anything is uncomfortable, just say so.

After your session

• Drink some water and take it easy for the rest of the day where you can.
• Move gently. A short walk or some light stretching can feel lovely.
• Notice how you feel over the next day or two — it helps you plan your next visit.

Looking after yourself between visits

Regular, spaced-out sessions often work better than a single one-off when you're managing ongoing tension. We're happy to suggest a rhythm that suits you — just ask.
