How to get the most from your massage

  • Be as open to the process as you can.

  • Relax and try let your thoughts go. One way to do this is to focus on how the touch or technique feels.

  • Remember to breathe, as this helps you relax. Sometimes people hold their breath when a sore area is massaged, but it is best to breathe through it.

  • In the same way, tightening your muscles during the massage is counterproductive. If you can't seem to relax your muscles, let your massage therapist know, so they can adjust the massage technique.
