Arrive on time for your appointment. If you arrived rushed and stressed it will take your body longer to relax
Remove clothing to your comfort level. If you aren't comfortable removing your clothing simply wear items that the therapist can work around and under. The therapist will give you privacy to change or undress.
Be sure to communicate with your massage therapist. Advise the therapist to any allergies you may have to lotions, oils or powders. Make sure you report any discomfort so the therapist can make adjustments. Don't ever be afraid to discuss apprehensions or concerns you may have.

Allow your mind and muscles to relax
Make sure you drink plenty of water following your massage session
