After your massage therapist washes their hands they will knock on the door and ask permission to enter.
Every massage therapist has a unique style and approach to giving a massage. Relaxing massage techniques may be used at first, and as you become more relaxed more specific areas of tension may be worked with deeper pressure if that is your preference.. Your therapist may periodically ask for feedback on pressure or techniques, and may gently move your limbs or make requests throughout the session.
You should expect to be comfortable and relaxed during your massage. If you experience any pain or discomfort at any time, let your massage therapist know right away. Speak up if the pressure needs adjusting, if you need a blanket, or if there is anything your massage therapist can do to help you relax.
