How do I prolong the benefits of a Swedish massage? 

It’s important that you keep hydrated before and after the massage to increase the effects. A warm bath can also help to maintain the relaxed state of your muscles.

Will I be in pain?

A massage should never be painful as it will always be tailored to a client’s specific requirements. Pressure can be increased or decreased based on your preference. Simply let your masseuse know at the start of your massage your preference and even during your massage and alert them if you are ever outside of your pain threshold. Overall, you shouldn’t feel uncomfortable or like your body isn’t responding well to the massage. A good massage works with your body, not against it.

What should I wear?

Again, you are in control and it is whatever you feel comfortable with. Mostclients prefer to be totally naked allowing the masseuse to move around their body unencumbered  whilst others prefer undress to their underwear. In a traditional Thai massages the client can often be fully clothed if they wish. Whatever your choice you will be allowed to undress privately and ensure you’re completely comfortable at all times. You can call our massage parlour in Aldershot to discuss what you find comfortable if you wish.

If you’ve booked a body scrub massage then you should avoid shaving on the day of the appointment as they can irritate the skin.

Do I need to be flexible?

That’s no problem;the stretches in a massage can actually be a great way to gain some flexibility no matter how stiff you are.

What happens if I fall asleep?

It’s okay, this is quite a common occurrence during a relaxing massage, and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed. Many masseuses take it as a compliment as it shows ultimate relaxation.

Why do I need to drink water after?

We always recommend keeping hydrated before and after a massage. This is to ensure you are flushing out the toxins that your body has released during the massage. You can also feel dehydrated as oxygen is being delivered to the muscles faster; drinking water helps to reduce this effect.
