How to Ensure the Best Massage Experience at Santi London
Most people have had a massage at least once in their lifetime and generally enjoyed the experience. However, some are less fortunate and struggle to find the perfect treatment. Issues such as loud music, a cold room, overly scented oils, or an inattentive therapist can detract from the experience. But having a good massage shouldn’t be so difficult.
Personal Preferences and Tips for a Great Massage
Everyone is different, and what one person finds relaxing, another might find off-putting. Here are some simple tips to ensure you get the best possible treatment to meet your needs and expectations.
Timing is Key
The time of day you book your treatment can influence your experience. Some people feel energized and invigorated after a massage, even a relaxing one, while others prefer to unwind and relax afterward. Consider how you typically feel post-massage when scheduling your appointment.
Don’t Rush
Allow extra time for your appointment. Adding at least 20 minutes can accommodate any delays and give you time to enjoy a post-treatment treat without feeling rushed.
Communicate Your Preferences
Let your therapist know what type of massage you prefer. Experienced and qualified therapists can usually determine what you need, but it’s important to communicate whether you want a remedial or relaxing massage.
Breathe and Relax
During the treatment, especially a deep tissue massage, it might get uncomfortable at times. Remember to breathe and avoid holding your breath, which can tense your muscles further. Keep a dialogue with your therapist, and let them know if something is too uncomfortable or if there’s something you particularly like or dislike.
Embrace Your ‘Me’ Time
Ultimately, this is your time to relax. Trust our experienced therapists to take you on a journey away from the stresses of everyday life, even if just for an hour.
Post-Massage Care
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water after your massage to flush out toxins. Herbal teas or warm water with lemon are also beneficial.
- Use Heat Packs: If you’ve had a deep tissue or sports massage, use heat packs to alleviate soreness. Gentle stretching or a hot bath with Epsom salts can also help.
A good massage doesn’t just provide immediate relief but also positively impacts your overall health.
