Orange County Massage Clients’ Frequently Asked Questi...

Also, if the food you eat has any sugars or caffeine, expect your body to take a little longer to relax into the massage. Subsequently, it's very possible that your mind may not absorb all of your body's feedback (metal focus) initially as the stimulants are still in the bloodstream.

Do I have to take all of my clothes off for a massage treatment?

Spa & Beauty Salon in Edinburgh - PURE
When you arrive for your treatment, you will be shown into the treatment room where your massage is to take place, and you will find space to remove your clothes. You should leave your briefs on, and if you are having a back, neck and shoulder massage, there is no need to take your lower-half clothing off, but we do find it is a more comfortable feeling if you take all of your clothes off apart from your briefs/knickers.
