If you have never tried going to spa. These tips will help you prepare for your visit.
1. During a massage, half of the body part being worked on will be uncovered. So you could keep your underwear on.
2. During treatments such as watsu, a hydrotherapy bath accompanied by an underwater massage, you'll wear a bathing suit.
3. You can choose a female or male therapist but make sure you inform ahead about your preference for availability.
4. If you're uncomfortable during the treatment you can tell the person who's giving it so he or she could respond immediately to your concern.
5. Some cases massage can cause aches and pain rather than relieve.
Avoid massage of any type if you have an infection, bruising or inflammation since rubbing could worsen the problem.
Always tell the therapist in advance about any medical conditions including pregnancy, recent injuries or possible sensitivities to a lotion or cream that might be used.
Spa treatment fees sometimes include a tip (ask when you book). If not, request for an envelope in which you leave a gratuity. Fifteen percent is standard.
