If you’re about to have your first massage, you may not know what to expect. The details of each experience vary between treatments, but you can always anticipate feeling more relaxed as massage therapists strive to create a luxurious and tranquil environment. Keep these etiquette tips in mind as you prepare for your first appointment.

3 Massage Etiquette Rules

1. Be Clean

Take a shower before your appointment so that your skin is not sticky and body odors have been washed away. Use deodorant, but avoid using a lot of scented products, like cologne and perfume, as they might mix with the massage oil poorly.

2. Arrive on Time

Massage therapists have a schedule to keep, and arriving late could cut into your treatment time. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes so that you can find parking and fill out out paperwork before your scheduled appointment. It is alright if you are early as most spas have a comfortable reception area where you can relax and sip water while you wait.

3. Communicate

Before beginning treatment, tell your massage therapist about any sore or sensitive areas on your body. You can either opt for them to avoid or give extra attention to that body part. Additionally, inform the professional of any medical conditions or allergies so that they can work around your needs and adjust their treatment plan, if necessary.
