FAQ: How should I prepare for the massage session?

  • Drink plenty of water – there’s an old saying in the theater, “Pee Clear and Often.”  This will allow your body to be completely hydrated and will accept the work more easily.  Of course, if you have a doctor’s instructions to limit your water intake, please heed those.  Otherwise, lots of water.
  • For the day before the massage, please avoid caffeine and alcohol.  These both act as diuretics and we want you nice and hydrated.
  • A small meal about two hours before the appointment is a good idea, but please do not arrive hungry or full.  Hunger is a distraction and fullness will be uncomfortable during certain portions of the session.
  • As immediately before you come over, take as long and as hot a shower as you can.  This will warm your body up nicely and help start the relaxation process.
