If you’re reading this, chances are you know the value of a truly great massage. Especially on hard days or during periods of stress or pain, we all look forward to the physical and emotional benefits you can get from a massage.
But what can you do if your massage isn’t quite cutting it? When your massage is “fine” or “okay” but not exactly what you’re needing?
Whether you’re trying to eliminate stress, chronic pain, or muscle stiffness, feedback is key to ensuring you get the most from your sessions.
The Positives
During your massage, therapists often check in about pressure, comfort, or room temperature. This is your chance to communicate what’s working. Sharing positive feedback helps us tailor future sessions to your preferences. The more specific you are, the better we can customize your massage to meet your needs.
The Not-So-Positives
Just as we value positive feedback, it’s equally important to let us know what isn’t working. Everyone’s body is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. By communicating discomfort or dissatisfaction, we can adjust the session to provide a better experience tailored to you.
How You Can Help
- Trust your body: You know your body best. Don’t hesitate to speak up if something feels off during the massage.
- Start early: Share your needs before getting on the table. Let us know if you have specific areas of tension or pain to focus on.
- Immediate feedback: If something isn’t right, say so immediately. Whether it’s adjusting pressure or a different technique, we appreciate real-time feedback.
- Be specific: The more details you give, the easier it is to deliver the massage you want. Feel free to guide us on pressure or techniques throughout the session.
