FIRST MASSAGE WHAT TO EXPECT

Your first massage — how to prepare and what to expect

Your first visit to a massage studio can raise questions and a little nervousness. Here is everything worth knowing so you feel at ease from the very first minute.

Your first massage — how to prepare and what to expect

Before your visit

Eat a light meal at least an hour before your massage and drink water. Arrive a few minutes early in comfortable clothes. Have information ready about medication, injuries and past surgery.

The consultation

We start with a short conversation about your needs and any contraindications. We agree which areas to massage and what intensity you prefer. You can ask for a change in pressure or a break at any time.

After your massage

Drink a glass of water and give yourself a quiet moment. Feeling a little sleepy or “heavy” is normal. Massage does not replace medical treatment — if you have health concerns, talk to your doctor.
