Massage therapy is relaxing, rejuvenating, and — let’s be honest — a little mysterious if you’re not in the treatment room every day. And while you don’t need to be a massage expert to enjoy the benefits, there are a few things your therapist wishes every client knew.
Here’s a little peek behind the scenes at what your massage therapist wishes you knew — so you can walk into your next session feeling even more confident, comfortable, and ready to relax.
🗣️ 1. You Can Talk to Us (But You Don’t Have To)
Some clients love to chat, others zone out completely — and both are totally okay.
What we do want is open communication about pressure, temperature, and your comfort. If something doesn’t feel right — too much pressure, you’re cold, your headrest feels off — tell us. We want you to relax, not tough it out.
✨ Fancy’s Tip: Let your therapist know if you’d like a quiet session or prefer to chat a bit. We’ll follow your lead.
🤫 2. Silence Isn’t Awkward — It’s Healing
Don’t feel pressured to make small talk. A massage is one of the few places in life where you don’t have to be “on.” You don’t have to apologize for zoning out, falling asleep, or just enjoying the moment in silence.
Your body — and your brain — are getting a break.
💛 3. We’ve Seen (and Heard) It All
Seriously. Skin texture, stretch marks, scars, body hair, back acne, even a little snoring — we’re not judging. Ever.
Your massage room is a safe, professional space, and we’re focused on your muscles, not your appearance.
So skip the anxiety about what your legs look like or whether your toes are polished. Just bring your wonderful self.
🙌 4. You Don’t Have to Be in Pain to Book a Massage
A lot of people wait until they’re in serious pain or stressed to book — but massage is most effective when it’s part of a regular wellness routine.
Think of it like going to the dentist or the gym. Regular care means fewer flare-ups, better mobility, and less tension buildup over time.

🧴 5. Hydration Matters (Before and After)
Massage increases circulation and can release toxins trapped in your muscles. Drinking water helps your body flush everything out and reduces the chance of feeling sore or sluggish afterward.
💧 Drink water before your appointment, and keep sipping afterward too.
🕯️ 6. We Want You to Feel 100% Comfortable
If you’re unsure about undressing, positioning, or any part of the massage, just ask.
We’re here to work within your comfort zone — always. If you’d prefer to stay partially clothed, if you’re pregnant and need modifications, or if you have areas you’d like us to avoid, please let us know. Your session is yours.
🤲 7. Massage Is a Two-Way Partnership
Your therapist brings the training, intuition, and technique. But you bring your voice, your preferences, and your body’s feedback.
The best results come when we work together — over time — to help you feel better, move easier, and manage the things that get in your way.
