How to prepare for a massage — what is worth knowing
Practical tips before your first massage: meal, clothing, the conversation with your therapist and what to do afterwards.
Before your visit
Arrive a few minutes early so you can calm down before the treatment. Do not eat a large meal right before the massage — a light snack 1–2 hours earlier is enough. Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol on the day of your visit.
What to wear
For a Thai massage wear comfortable, loose clothing — we perform it without oil and without undressing. For oil massages such as a Balinese massage we work on the body; you undress to the level where you feel comfortable, and intimate areas are always covered.
What to tell the therapist
Before the session, mention any injuries, pain, pregnancy, chronic conditions and medications you take. Say what you expect — relaxation or work on tension — and what intensity you prefer. During the massage you can also ask for firmer or gentler work.
After the massage
After the treatment, get up slowly, drink some water and give yourself a moment of calm. Avoid intense exercise and the sauna that day. A slight feeling of relaxation or drowsiness is normal — a sign that the body is recovering.
