the Massage
Before having a massage, try to avoid taking heavy meals, but if you eat something, have it at least one hour before your session as it is not ideal to get a massage with a full stomach and while digesting.
Be ready 5 minutes before your booking time, so you will have some time to relax and can embrace the experience and enjoying some time exclusively for yourself.
Wear comfortable clothes and, before the treatment, take any personal belongings such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets and watches. We would appreciate if customers could put their phones on silent.
It is advisable to go to the restroom before starting the massage.
It is essential to drink plenty of water after a massage. Muscles dehydrate after the treatment, so it is important to replace all that lost water by drinking more. This will help eliminate the metabolic waste produced by the muscles through the urine.
After the massage do not drink coffee or other stimulating beverages. This can add tension to your relaxed muscles and even cause a weird feeling.
If you are hungry after the massage, do not eat too much, but if you need to, drink enough water first.
After the massage is possible that you feel some light pain, tiredness or sleepiness. This is generally normal. Experiencing these sensations on the body is a response triggered by massage techniques. If this persists, it is convenient that you let the therapist know.
People with thrombosis or phlebitis problems (varicose veins) should not get a massage because blood clots could cause complications.
Severe wounds or surgical areas should not be handled directly until checked by your doctor.
A massage is contraindicated if you suffer an acute contagious illness, skin rashes or infections, fever, hypertension or have had a heart attack recently.
People with cancer who are being treated with radiation and/or chemotherapy should check with their doctor prior to getting a massage.
It is vital that you inform the Masseuse of any health issues and medications you are taking. Written approval will be required for each massage session if you are undergoing medical treatment.
