Here is what you can usually expect at a massage session: When you arrive for your massage appointment, the massage therapist will ask if you have any injuries or health conditions. Make sure to tell your therapist about your issue. This helps him or her to determine the type of massage that's right for you, as well as any areas to avoid. Depending on the setting, you may have the option to either lie on a table or sit in a chair for your massage. If you choose a table massage, you'll be taken to a private room and asked to remove some or all of your clothing and to cover yourself with a blanket. If you choose a chair massage, you will probably not be taken to a private room, and you won't need to remove your clothing. Most massage techniques involve lying on a cushioned table. Your massage therapist may use pillows to support different areas of your body. Your massage therapist may use oils or lotions on your skin. If you are allergic to any common ingredients of body oils or lotions, let the therapist know. Don't hesitate to let your massage therapist know if the level of pressure is too hard. If you feel any discomfort, ask him or her to use lighter strokes. A typical massage lasts about an hour, although sessions can range from 30 to 90 minutes. After a massage, the massage therapist will step out of the room and allow you to relax alone for a few minutes and then get dressed.
