A massage is a unique opportunity to release tension, relieve stress, and promote overall physical and mental health. To ensure your massage experience goes smoothly and without worries, it’s good to know how to properly prepare for it. In this article, we’ll advise you on how to minimize stress, what to do before a massage, and also what to watch out for to make your massage as comfortable and effective as possible.
1. Calm yourself and avoid stressful situations on the day of the massage
The first and most important tip when preparing for a massage is to focus on your mental state. If you’re wondering: “How to prepare for a massage?”, the answer is simple – start by organizing your day to make it as calm as possible.
Why is it important to stay calm?
Stress and a hectic day can negatively affect not only your mental state but also muscle tension, which can reduce the effectiveness of the massage. Massages are most effective when performed in a state of relaxation and calm.
How to keep your day calm?
- Give yourself enough time to prepare: If you have a massage planned for the day, make sure you have time to relax and avoid busy activities.
- Practice relaxation techniques: For example, breathing exercises, meditation, or gentle stretching.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol: These substances can cause nervousness or disrupt your sleep patterns.
- Limit physical and mental strain: Take time to rest and practice proper breathing.
A calm day will positively affect your massage and allow you to enjoy it to the fullest.
2. Arrive on time – ideally 10 minutes early
One of the most important factors that will help you have a smooth and pleasant experience is arriving on time. We recommend arriving ideally 10 minutes before your scheduled massage. Why?
Benefits of arriving early for your massage:
- Calming down and time to adapt:
Arriving earlier allows you to calm down, get familiar with the massage salon environment, and prepare for the massage without stress. - Opportunity to change clothes calmly:
In our ESCAPE salon, you can change clothes comfortably in the locker room or bathroom, ensuring you have enough time and comfort. - Plenty of time for a quick preparation:
For example, you can enjoy a cup of herbal tea, hydrate, or soak in the pleasant atmosphere of the space before the massage begins.
3. What to wear for a massage?
You might be wondering what to wear for a massage and whether you need to prepare special attire. The good news is that in our ESCAPE salon, we provide the massage attire right in the salon.
What does this mean?
Massage attire is provided: You don’t have to worry about anything because during your massage, you’ll receive comfortable and pleasant clothing that ensures maximum comfort during the session.
For traditional Thai massages: You’ll receive special loose clothing designed to allow easy movement while supporting the work of the massage therapist.
For oil massages: If you’re undergoing an oil massage, disposable underwear will be provided, or you can keep your own – with the understanding that oils may stain it.
Clothing recommendations after the massage:
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing for the rest of the day, in which you’ll feel good and relaxed. Your comfort is crucial and contributes to the overall pleasant experience.
4. Hydration is key
Both before and after your massage, it’s important to hydrate your body. Massages stimulate the lymphatic system, promote circulation, and help your body eliminate toxins. Hydration helps these processes function effectively.
Which liquids are best?
Plain water: The simplest and most effective way to hydrate.
Herbal teas: Help relax and have detoxifying effects.
Natural fruit juices: Provide vitamins and refreshment.
