The Right Touch - Massage Therapy

How to get the best results and relaxation from your massage!

My massage was not exactly how I wanted it to be, how do I make sure that it does not happen again?


One of the first things I tell anyone who is getting a massage is to communicate!  Communicate initially when you meet your massage therapist on your preferences and communicate during your massage if things are not progressing as you wish. Do not take a passive role during a massage, it avoids disappointment after the fact.  A good massage therapist will adjust during the massage and will want to meet your expectations. If after the first massage things were not exactly perfect you may want to give them another chance, to fine tune for the next time but communicate any concerns. The massage therapist will want to know what they can do to make you totally happy.  If after the second massage they do not meet and exceed your expectations perhaps it is time to find someone else, not everyone is the perfect match. I tell people, like a gynecologist a massage therapist is very much a personal thing, you have to find the right touch, and the right match. Now relax and enjoy!
