While massages are meant to soothe the body and mind, it can be hard to relax if it’s your first time. This is especially true for men, who might not be used to being pampered at day spas. Luckily, it’s easy to reach a relaxed state when you follow these tips.

How Can You Feel More Comfortable During a Massage?

1. Go After Work

While it’s possible to schedule an appointment during your lunch break, knowing you must go back to work and deal with stress can unravel your relaxed state.

Visiting a day spa after work will help you unwind after a hectic day. This way, you can head home after your appointment and get a good night’s rest.

2. Dress Appropriately

day spaIt’s customary to remain clothed during Thai massages. If you’re due for this type fo treatment, choose items that are lightweight and unrestrictive. For example, loose T-shirts and pants made of cotton. If you wear tight clothing during the session, it’s harder to relax. 

3. Leave Hangups at the Door

Deep tissue and hot stone massages typically require undressing. This can be a little uncomfortable if it’s your first time. However, you’ll be given a towel and blanket to cover up with. The professional also exits the room to allow you to undress, and leaves the body parts that aren’t being worked on covered. Rest assured that the staff is professional and practices the utmost decorum when providing services. 

4. Stay Silent

Conversation is welcome before and after your treatment, but try to keep quiet while the massage is in progress. To relax fully, focus on breathing deeply and keeping your mind empty. Some people find that thinking about something else is helpful, but you can also picture a location that calms you, such as a lakeside vacation home or peaceful forest.
