What to Expect and How to Prepare for Your First Spa Experience

 

You heard a lot from your friends about the fun and relaxing feeling when you go to spa. What to expect when you go to a spa or massage therapist?

 

When you walked in the door after you filled out your intake form your massage therapist will bring you into a room. You are going to want to ask them if they would like you to lay face up or face down on the massage table.

 

Now when you come in you want to take off all of your jewelry, your earrings, any necklaces, any rings or bracelets - that way the Skintelligence massage therapist can get access to your entire body. Also they will tell you to undress to what is comfortable to you. What is comfortable to you may not be what is comfortable to other people. So for most people it is a bra and underwear for women and underwear for men. If you do not feel comfortable taking your bra off, then you can just unhook it from your sides and unhook the back and that way it is still on your chest. Also just remember that the massage therapist will ask you to get in between the two sheets, a top sheet and a bottom sheet. And when you are underneath the sheet just remember that no part of your body will be uncovered unless it is being worked on.

 

If your leg is being worked on only your leg is uncovered. The rest of your body will be covered. Just know that when you are being worked on that your body will be tucked in so that you will be safe and you will be secure; so you do not have to worry about parts of your body accidentally being uncovered. Also on your intake form there will be a portion that says where and where you are not comfortable being touched during the massage. So that way you will feel secure at all times.

Again the important thing about getting ready for getting a great Vienna VA Spa massage is taking off all of your jewelry and that you are going to be undressed to what is comfortable to you, whether it is a bra and underwear or whether it is just underwear, whether it is bike shorts or loose shorts. Just make sure that you are undressed for your comfort.

 

Make sure that you understand that for the massage therapist to get to the parts of your body that you need worked on they need to have full access to it.
