For Clients: How to Prepare for a Massage 1. Hydrate • Drink plenty of water before and after your massage to help flush out toxins released from muscle tissue. 2. Shower • A quick shower beforehand is appreciated and helps you feel fresh and relaxed. 3. Avoid Heavy Meals • Eat lightly; a heavy meal can make you uncomfortable when lying down. 4. Arrive Early • Arrive 10–15 minutes early to fill out any paperwork, use the restroom, and begin to unwind. 5. Communicate Needs • Let the therapist know about: • Areas of tension or pain • Injuries or medical conditions • Pressure preferences (light, medium, deep) 6. Dress Comfortably • Wear loose-fitting clothes. You’ll typically undress to your comfort level; you'll be properly draped throughout the session. 7. Turn Off Devices • Silence your phone to avoid distractions. 8. Relax and Breathe • Focus on your breathing and allow your body to relax into the massage table. Optional: Bring or Ask About • Water bottle for afterward • Hair tie if you have long hair • Allergies/sensitivities (inform your therapist about oil or scent preferences)

1. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for several hours afterward. 2. Allow your body time to recover—avoid intense workouts immediately after. Take it easy for the rest of the day, especially after deep tissue or therapeutic work. 3. A warm bath with Epsom salts (if not contraindicated) can ease any soreness and continue the muscle-relaxing effect. 4. Mild soreness, especially after deep work, is normal and should fade within 24–48 hours. Use a cold compress if you're feeling extra tender, or warm compress to relax tight spots. 5. Take note of how your body responds—share this with your therapist before your next session for more personalized care. 6. Regular massages provide more long-term benefits. Ask your therapist about a plan that fits your goals.
