What it involves
What should I wear
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy for you to remove, and pop back on after your session. If you are having your legs massaged, please bring shorts. But if you forget we have lots of shorts in the clinic.
Hydration
A good rule of thumb is to drink 500ml an hour before your massage session. And 500ml in the hour after your massage session.
Oil or wax Massage medium
We have both oil and wax. We can suggest as to which is best for you on the chat we have before your massage. Oil is great for massage which focuses on longer relaxing techniques. Massage wax is a slight bit grippy and is amazing at loosening of around tight areas like if you’re having nagging neck tightness. For a deeper muscle melting massage.
