Massage is a great way to give yourself a moment of relaxation and relaxation. It is very good at reducing muscle tension and regenerating our body. This method of relaxation is becoming increasingly popular among both men and women. We can distinguish at least several types of massage, depending on the techniques used during them. Increasingly popular is, for example, the relaxing Thai massage. Classical massage was already known and appreciated 3000 years ago. SPAs can now be found in every major city. Making the first visit to such a place, will often be associated with various fears and doubts. Massage, is certainly a very exciting experience, nevertheless, in order to get rid of the fear of the first massage, you should have knowledge of several issues. It is worth knowing, first of all, how to prepare for a visit to a spa and what to take with you. Stays in such places, are primarily intended to de-stress us, give us at least a moment of pleasure and the opportunity to get away from everyday worries and responsibilities.

Clothing or lack thereof

Massage is inextricably associated with nudity. Undoubtedly, it is not necessary to leave all items of clothing on the chair. Typically, gentlemen remain in their underwear, while ladies remain in their underwear and bra.

Some of the massage parlors, provide their clients with disposable underwear: a breast pad, panties and disposable slippers. At selected massages, sizable towels and sheets are used, whose role is to provide a sense of intimacy and protect against possible hypothermia.

Hygiene versus undergoing your first massage

Seemingly a very basic point, nevertheless, it is not uncommon to forget that massages are therapeutic procedures performed on completely naked skin. Therefore, it is worthwhile to freshen up before the massage, and you can also take a shower. If this is not possible due to being at work all day, we can take a shower on site at the office. Clean skin will breathe much better, and will not be irritated by sweat secretions mixed with oil during the massage. It is also advisable to remove applied creams and emulsions in advance, as they will unfortunately interfere with the oil during the massage.

First massage vs. nudity

To massage the back, it is usually sufficient to remove the top of the garment. In women, in addition, it will be necessary to unclasp the bra. Despite this, it is also worth taking off your pants or even your underwear. At our disposal, we usually have a sheet with which we can cover ourselves thoroughly. Getting rid of the clothing, allows the masseur to perform unrestricted movements. He will also not have to be careful not to dirty his clothes with oil

It is important to keep quiet during the massage

There are some people who do not prefer silence. There are also those who even love it. Silence will not be necessary every time. It can cause the atmosphere to become too charged, so it is worth helping to defuse it with conversation. Some massage therapists turn on the music only at the request of the client, because then they miss the way of breathing and the associated tension in the body.

Stimulation on massage

It is undeniable that the touch of another person, even more so within the erogenous zones, can stimulate our body’s reactions. This is often a troublesome subject for men. For greater freedom, you can, in addition to covering the intimate areas with a towel, cover them gently with your hands. In the case of nipples in ladies, there is no reason to give up massaging the chest. It is enough to cover the intimate parts with a small towel, so that the hands of the masseur, only have contact with the hands of the patient.

Maintaining the right position

During the massage, you should adopt a position that is comfortable for you. Usually we will be asked to lie in a position on our stomachs, our head will be in an opening at the end of the table, while a small roller will be placed under our legs to loosen the joints. Hands may be placed along the body, and not infrequently we may be asked to place them under the thighs.

Pain felt during massage

It is not true to say that only a painful massage can produce the desired results. In the same way as the so-called fizzing experienced at the spa, it does not remain worthless. Our body, including muscles and skin, reacts to external stimuli quite individually. The nervous system, however, sets certain limits for massage therapists, which they should not exceed. It is not uncommon then to hear the question of whether the pain is bearable. When told that the massage is too strong, the specialist will apply gentler pressure.

What to bring with you to the massage?

Sometimes massage parlors require us to have a two-piece swimsuit for selected treatments. If we decide to go to a spa by the sea for two, then we can be almost certain that this will be required of us. Above all, it is worth having your own waterproof flip-flops. Something to pin up your hair will also be useful. Most of the things should provide us with a spa, so we can get: Towel, hair shampoo, shower gel, disposable underwear and bathrobe. You can always call the spa in advance and inquire about what will be necessary for us to take.
