Having received a gift certificate for a Thai massage, the presenter must certainly know how best to prepare for the procedure so that it brings maximum benefit. Take advantage of these recommendations.
The body must be clean, clothing – loose, cotton.
Eating should be at least 2 hours before visiting the salon. It is better to eat the lightest food. Water can be drunk an hour before the procedure, but no more than half a glass.
Usually in reputable salons, massage clothes are provided. If you bring your own clothes, they need to be washed with quality detergents after each session.
When receiving a Thai massage with hot oil (to improve metabolism, nourish the skin, relieve pain and stress), the body is maximally freed from clothing, but those parts of it that are not removed will be soaked in oil. It is worth considering this when preparing.
Both the massage therapist and the client must be in a good mood, with pure thoughts. Only in this case, after the session, a state of complete relaxation and peace will come.
You will feel the flow of energy, the condition of the skin will improve, the headache and swelling will disappear. Several massage sessions help to cleanse toxins, lose weight, and relieve orthopedic problems, including those associated with the spine.
