  2. Let your massage therapist know if you have any allergies or sensitivities to oils, lotions or other products that we may use during the session. This can help us to choose products that are safe and suitable for your needs.
  3. Inform your massage therapist about any areas of tension or pain that you would like them to focus on during the session. This can help us to address specific areas and provide targeted relief.
  4. During the session, communicate any discomfort or pain that you may be experiencing. Your massage therapist can adjust the pressure or technique to ensure your comfort and safety. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for more or less pressure, we can’t feel what you feel so we really do rely on you to keep us informed.
  5. After the session, provide feedback to your massage therapist about your experience. This can help them to improve their techniques and provide better care in future sessions.
