Have a shower, so that your skin can absorb the massage oil better.
Remove necklace, chains, watches and other Jewelry from your body.
Discuss with the masseur about your specific massage needs.
Let your masseur know any health issues that may prevent you from receiving a massage. (please click here for more information about massage contraindications.)
During a massage session:
Report any discomfort. E.g. Room temperature, music volume, lighting etc.
Communicate with you male massage therapist about the pressure, speed and movement of the massage you prefer to receive.
Deep breathe, relax and don't try to tighten your muscles when being touched by the masseur.
After a massage session:
Allow yourself a few minutes to recover while resting on the massage table.
Get off the massage table slowly, as sometimes, you may feel a bit dizzy or light headed. This is a normal and nothing to worry about.
Drink extra water to help your body to flush away the toxins released from your muscles during the massage.
If possible, don't have a shower straight away after a massage session, so that your skin will benefit more from absorbing the massage oil.
