What To Expect At My First Full Body Massage

How to prepare for your full-body massage

Heading into your first full-body massage can be a daunting experience. So, we’re here to take the guesswork out of your first session and help you feel calm and confident before arriving on the massage table.

Book the right session length for your needs

Here at Blys, our massage therapists offer three session durations for full-body massages: 60 minutes, 90 minutes or an indulgent 120 minutes.

The length you choose often comes down to a few things, including how much time you have to spare in your schedule and your goals for the session.

If you’re looking to enter a state of deep relaxation and ensure all of your muscle groups are given plenty of attention, it’s worth booking a longer 90-minute or 120-minute session. This will ensure your therapist has plenty of time to relieve stress and tension across your entire body.

However, if you’re short on time or happy with a more focused approach that targets specific parts of your body, a 60-minute session can be a great way to add some bliss into your daily routine.

Stay hydrated

Hydrating your body ahead of your massage is a great way to ensure your muscles are ready to receive the full benefits of your session. This will make it easier for your therapist to release any spots of tension and tightness and aid detoxification after your session, too.

Give your digestion a break

It’s best to avoid eating in the hour or two prior to your session to ensure your body isn’t busy digesting food during your massage.

Steer clear of any big, heavy meals and opt for light snacks (such as fruit or nuts) before your booking to ensure you don’t feel bloated or sluggish going into your massage.

Remove jewellery

Along with picking the right outfit (more on that in a minute), it’s a wise move to take off any jewellery before your massage. This includes things like hoop earrings, watches, necklaces, and bracelets, which may get in the way of allowing your therapist to deliver the best experience possible.

Switch off all distractions

Whether you’re heading into a massage parlour or booking a relaxing in-house massage, it’s important to create a space that feels calm, relaxing and distraction-free.

That means switching your phone off or onto Do Not Disturb mode, closing down your laptop and preparing your mind and body to receive the benefits of your full-body massage. Remember: this session is about putting yourself first.
