I've had some first time clients who have not only never had one of my massages, but never had a massage in general. Sometimes they have an no idea about what to expect, sometimes they have some idea, though those ideas are necessarily accurate. I've even talked to a client who was treated inappropriately by the therapist without realizing it. So, what should you expect from a legitimate massage? The next couple posts will have a FAQ regarding massage.
1) Do I have to get completely naked?
- It's up to you. You only need to dress down to your level of comfort, and if you feel you need to keep your underwear on, that's fine. No matter what, there are certain areas of the body that will remain covered at all times- Breast area, genitalia area, and the crevice of the rectum. If anything, the only undergarment I recommend taking off is the bra, and this is to allow for more fluid strokes along the back and shoulders. However, there are some styles of massage that are completely clothed, such as Shiatsu, so if disrobing is an issue for you, consider finding a therapist who does Shiatsu.
