Talking during the service is completely up to you. This is your massage! You paid for it. Personally, I feel like most will get more from the service when they just relax and breathe. A lot of times you will be relaxed enough to doze off. You will feel completely rejuvenated after you come out of the fog of being worked on, also known as, “massage drunk.” Opposite of those that fall asleep, there are personality types that find relaxation in talking with their therapist during the massage. You are protected by HIPPA, ensuring anything you say is confidential. Don’t be offended if your Therapist doesn’t strike up a conversation first. We follow your lead. Happy to chat and happy with silence. There is always music playing so it’s not a quiet room either way.
Should you want something changed in the massage PLEASE speak up. This can be that you want different pressure or that you just remembered you stubbed your big toe that morning, and you really don’t want it touched. It can also be to tell them that a certain thing they are doing feels really good. Occasional feedback from the client is helpful, especially if you are there to work on a specific issue.
