Your Massage Questions Answered...

What Do I Do During My Massage?
The most important thing to remember when you are getting a massage is to get comfortable and relax. Your massage therapist will likely be able to work around your positioning or tell you how to position your body to receive the maximum results. Your main concern is to just lie on the massage table and enjoy the process. If you want to, you can close your eyes and remain quiet while the masseuse completes the process. Or, if you'd prefer, you can talk during the massage if talking relaxing for you. If your talking begins to interfere with the relaxing tendencies of the massage, though, your masseuse may politely ask you to be quiet so you can enjoy the full effects of the process.

Is Massage OK if I'm Pregnant?
For women who are pregnant, your doctor can inform you of the many options available concerning massages. Normally, you cannot get a traditional massage without risking health to your body or your unborn baby. In fact, women who are in the first trimester of their pregnancy need a note from their doctor before a massage therapist will perform a massage on them. Massages for pregnant women are typically restricted to just the back, neck and shoulders to help relieve stress and muscle tension. Massaging the feet, legs and ankles is not allowed because of potential harm to the woman or the baby.

How Long Should I Expect a Massage To Be?
Most professional massage therapists ask that you make at least a one-hour appointment for your massage sessions. A half hour really isn't enough time to really work out the knots and the tightness in your muscles. In fact, half hour massages typically only consist of a half-body massage, such as your legs and feet or your neck and shoulders. A good and productive session usually takes at least one hour to administer a full-body massage. Also, make sure you have time to relax before and after the massage. You don't want to immediately begin without relaxing and it's always a good idea to relax for a few minutes before getting up from a massage.
