Massage at my home - how do I prepare?

At-home massage is very similar to getting a massage at the therapist's office. The biggest difference is that you don't have to leave your home; instead, the service comes to you. You don't need to prepare much; just be present at the agreed-upon time. Here are our tips for preparation and for the best possible massage experience.

Before the massage therapist arrives

  1. Think about a suitable place in your home for the massage, which is calm and where the massage can be performed. Check that there is enough space for a massage table and that the therapist has room to move around the massage table.
  2. Make sure that you are also ready and present for the massage at the agreed-upon time.

Tip: If you want, you can turn on the radio or choose your favorite music, podcast, or audiobook in advance.

Tip: Make sure you have the opportunity to relax - if you have pets, ensure they won't disturb you during the massage, and silence your phone to avoid interruptions. In households with children, if you want to escape the noise for your own relaxation, you can use headphones or schedule the massage at a time when you can have peace and quiet.

When the massage therapist has arrived

  1. Guide the massage therapist to the space where the massage will take place. Also, instruct them where they can wash their hands.
  2. Once both the therapist and the client are ready, the massage can begin.

What does the massage include?

Each client is provided with an individualized massage tailored to their preferences and needs. Depending on the type of massage you have chosen, the professional will perform the service according to your order.

Most often, the massage includes these steps:

  • The initial interview, where the massage, preferences, and goals are planned
  • Assessment, where the therapist examines things like mobility, posture, and possible areas of pain
  • The massage itself, during which the therapist uses various massage techniques tailored to your situation
  • After the massage, you receive instructions from the therapist, which you can carry out independently at home to continue addressing the issue
  • After the massage, the therapist tidies up the space, packs their equipment, reminds the client to hydrate adequately, and leaves for their next appointment or home
