Preparation for a Massage:
“Ask the therapist to focus on areas where you need more work.”
“Consider massage post surgery. Always alert your massage therapist to the area of your surgery. Check with your doctor prior to getting a massage post surgery.”
During and After a Massage:
“Be comfortable with the level of pressure the massage therapist uses: speak up if it is too much or too little.”
“There are many forms of massage and each massage therapist does things a little differently so try different types of massage and therapists to find the approach that works best for you.”
