To prepare for a sports massage, ensure you are
comfortable, well-hydrated, and have communicated any relevant medical history or concerns to the therapist.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing and consider a light meal before your appointment to avoid feeling uncomfortable while lying on the massage table.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Clothing:
Choose loose, comfortable clothing that allows for
easy access to the areas being treated.
Avoid tight or restrictive clothing that could impede the therapist's work. Consider wearing shorts or a tank top for lower and upper body massages, respectively, If you prefer to be naked for treatment a large towel is provided
for complete privacy.
Minimize jewelry and accessories.
Hydration:
Drink plenty of water before your massage to help your muscles stay hydrated and relaxed.
Avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol, as they
can dehydrate you.
Communication:
Communicate openly with your therapist about any specific issues, injuries, or concerns you may have.
Let them know your goals for the massage, whether it's for pain relief, recovery, or improving performance.
Timing:
Arrive a few minutes early to give yourself time to relax and unwind before the session.
Avoid strenuous activities immediately after your massage.
Consider showering before your appointment to help you feel comfortable and relaxed.
Other tips:
Avoid eating a heavy meal immediately before
your massage.
Consider light exercises or stretches beforehand to warm up your muscles.
If you are unsure about any aspect of preparing for your massage, don't hesitate to ask your
therapist for clarification.
Important Note: Sports massage can be intense, so
it's essential to communicate with your therapist
about your comfort level and pain threshold
during the session.
