What do I wear to full body massage?

Decoding the Dress Code: What to Wear (and Not Wear) for Your Full Body Massage

So, you've booked a full body massage – congratulations! You're on the path to relaxation and rejuvenation. Now, the question arises: what on earth do you wear? Understanding the best attire for your session can significantly enhance your comfort and overall experience. Let's break down the essentials.

The short answer is: comfort is key. The goal is to allow the therapist access to your muscles while ensuring you feel relaxed and at ease.

Think Comfortable Casual:

• Top: A loose-fitting t-shirt is an excellent choice. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive that might bunch up or feel uncomfortable when lying face down.
• Bottoms: Opt for loose pants, like sweatpants, yoga pants, or even comfortable pajama bottoms. Again, the looser, the better. Avoid jeans or anything with buttons or zippers that could press uncomfortably against your skin.

Footwear (or Lack Thereof):

• Bare Feet: The most common approach is to go barefoot. This allows the therapist access to your feet if needed for massage techniques.
• Socks: If bare feet aren't your preference, wearing socks is perfectly acceptable! Don't worry about bringing your own; many therapists, including myself, keep extras on hand for your convenience. Just let me know if you'd prefer to keep your socks on.

Things to Avoid:

• Tight Clothing: As mentioned earlier, steer clear of anything too tight or restrictive. You want to be able to fully relax and let go, and tight clothing can hinder that.
• Excessive Jewelry: Remove necklaces, bracelets, and large earrings. These can get in the way during the massage and could potentially be damaged.
• Heavy Makeup: While a little makeup is fine, avoid applying heavy makeup, especially to your back, as it could transfer to the massage table linens.

Beyond the Basics: Your Comfort is Paramount:

Ultimately, your comfort is my top priority. Don't hesitate to communicate your needs and preferences.

• Feeling Cold? Please, just ask! I have blankets available to ensure you stay warm and cozy throughout your massage.

The goal of your full body massage is to unwind and relieve tension. By choosing comfortable clothing and communicating your preferences, you can help create the ideal environment for a truly relaxing and beneficial experience. Now, go relax and enjoy!
