Massage 101: Top 10 Tips

When you make a commitment to routine massage therapy sessions, you’re committing to a lifestyle that focuses on overall health and wellness.

To make sure that you’re getting the best massage every time, Ella’s Place Massage suggests the following top ten tips to enhance your massage therapy experience.

Our Ten Tips to Enhance Massage Therapy

Tip 1: Set a Goal

A goal helps you identify what you want to get out of your massage – relaxation versus rehabilitation – before your session can make a big difference in having a satisfying experience. Those who set goals can also measure progress.

If for instance, your goal is to rejuvenate your skin or get rid of fine lines of wrinkle, this will ensure you are always on track and help streamline your sessions.

Tip 2: Experience Counts

At Ella’s place, we are all out to provide you with premium service that leaves the experience in your memory and body long after you must have left our premises.

We rank our therapists by pressure levels and expertise so be rest assure only the best massage therapists in Abuja will attend to you.

Tip 3: Don’t Keep Quiet

Communication is key, even at massage therapy sessions. Communicating with your therapist before your session about how you’re feeling, your medical history and what you expect from the session will help to keep your session focused on your specific goals.

Tip 4: Be Punctual

Always arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to give you time to prepare your mind and body for the session. This will also help you discuss any issue of concern with your therapist.

Tip 5: Leave Your Gadgets Behind

Just like that get together with your friends where you are required to keep your phones away, getting a massage is one of the few places where you can, and are encouraged, to push distractions aside. Leave your gadgets behind at home or in the car to be more comfortable during the session.

Tip 6: Drink Lots of Water 

It’s important to drink plenty of water before and after your appointment.

Tip 7: Remember to Breathe

It’s not the slaughterhouse. At Ella’s place, we want you to always feel at home. Relaxing long breaths from your abdomen doesn’t just help you relax mentally during your session, but it also helps your muscles relax as your therapist works out your body’s stiffness and tightness. So, relax!

Tip 8: Feedback is Necessary

You can guide your therapist across areas of concerns. Your massage session should be tailored to your specific needs so make sure to tell your therapist throughout your massage whether he/she is focusing on your tight areas and providing the right amount of pressure.

Tip 9: Find Your Comfort Zone

If the lights hurt your eye, we can switch it off. If the music is not to your taste, we can change the playlist. At Ella’s Place, everything about your massage focuses on making you feel good and comfortable.

Tip 10: Don’t be in a Rush

Except you have a flight to catch, take out time to relax and recover before you dash into your daily routine. Read our article on other healthy benefits of massage therapy here.
