Get the most out of your massage by doing these three things

23 November 2017 by Beth Ryan

If you’re outlaying on a massage to soothe maxed out muscles and send you to your happy (floaty) place, you’ll want to make the most of it. The more relaxed you are before your appointment, the better. There are super easy ways of making that a reality. Here’s how.

By Liz Hambleton

  • 1 Do your homework

    Know what you’re having. Don’t wait until your masseuse is cracking vertebrae to whisper that you thought you’d booked something more relaxing. If it doesn’t sound like something you’d like, ask for something different. That applies during your massage too – don’t endure something you’re not enjoying. Most masseuses will be happy to adapt to your needs.

  • 2 Don’t go hungry, or stuffed

    Since you’re having a massage, it must be a ‘treat yo’self’ day but try to steer clear of Shake Shack before your massage. That said, it’s a good idea to eat something to stave off a grumbly stomach. For maximum comfort – and to cover all massage-related digestion eventualities – it’s best to factor in two food-free hours before your appointment.

  • 3 Think head to toe

    Sounds obvious, but if you’re having a full body massage that means – you got it! – arms, legs, back and feet. Your masseuse will deal with knots in places you didn’t even know you had them. Top tip for the full body treatment is, and we’ll admit it sounds obvious, but…take a shower and remove any unwanted hair. Why? The less friction the better.
