You\u2019re ready for your massage.. But it&#8217;s your first time and you aren\u2019t sure what to expect. What do you wear? Do you have to talk? How do you prepare? What should you expect? In order to get the best, most relaxing experience, we\u2019re answering all your questions. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s how the experience will go down:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Get Personal! <\/strong>Your massage therapist will ask questions to determine any pain points or areas of focus. During your massage, he\/she will focus on those specific areas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Comfort is key. <\/strong>Wear comfortable clothing when you come in for your massage. Before your massage, you will be asked to undress to your level of comfort. Lie down on your stomach underneath the sheets. You will remain covered throughout the massage, except for the places that are being massaged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded-corner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/woodtherapy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-content-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woodtherapy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-content-3.jpg 840w, https:\/\/woodtherapy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-content-3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/woodtherapy.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/post-content-3-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You Get What You Ask For. <\/strong>Your massage therapist will check on pressure throughout your massage, but don\u2019t be afraid to speak up. Let your massage therapist know if you are uncomfortable at any time during your massage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Breathe In. Breathe Out. <\/strong>Remember to breathe normally throughout your massage. Not only does it enhance your massage, but it also helps you to relax, enhancing that sense of calm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Time Flies When You\u2019re Relaxing. <\/strong>After your massage, your massage therapist will discuss any conclusions they drew from the service. He\/she will recommend how often you should get a massage, the long-term benefits you can expect and any self-care in between sessions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Soreness is Common.<\/strong> It\u2019s perfectly normal to feel a little sore after a massage. For your muscles, a massage is similar to experiencing a tough workout.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is the day! You\u2019re ready for your massage..
