How To Get The Best Out Of Hotel Massage Service

By Alta Alexander


In the recent years, most hotels have opened their own massage parlors for the travelers or have treatment rooms or exotic therapies. A hotel can be a five star while the star can be in another category but either way, you get to have a massage at an extra cost. Kneading techniques are several and it depends with where a person was trained. Some of the hotel massage service offers the following: Swedish, Thai, Californian, ayurvedics among others.

There are some things that need to be done so that your body can relax at the massage table. Some of these things include staying in the sauna or the steam room for a few minutes prior to the therapy so that your muscles will be relaxed. The therapist should put on some music that can soothe you and you are contented with.

Sometimes it is a good idea for the therapist to have a chit chat with the client during a session explaining the oils and treatments she is using and their benefits. It should be in a slow manner though. As much as no one wants to have any type of discussion during the time you want to relax, it will assist you in saying what you want the next time.

What makes massages important is the pressure and the strokes applied to your body. You should not be hesitant at any point to ask the therapist to add more pressure or lessen it because it will be your loss. The pressure will be uncomfortable to you and as a result you will not be able to relax at all. The reason behind the strokes is to regulate the blood flow.

It is good for you to have a plenty of water after any type of a massage session. One of the reasons is that your body temperature is prone to change after a session so its healthy to drink liquids. Another thing is that your body will be drained and it may need water to replenish itself. Toxins from the body are also released after a full body kneading.

There are no restrictions on what you are supposed to wear to kneading session but its highly recommended that you adorn clothes that are loose fitting. There are parlors that have paper briefs for the clients to put on. You can even wear a dry swim wear. The spas have private rooms that you can go change to something comfortable.

Since your main reason for getting a kneading session is to relax and also relax your muscles, it is wise to leave behind your phone and other electronic gadgets like a laptop and a tablet behind. Let it be your relaxing time and avoid such distractions. You will not be the only one using the spa so if another client hears a phone ring yet he was trying to relax, it can be very disappointing.

All in all, if you get a hotel that has both accommodation and massage services, it will be to your advantage. You can have as many massages as you want of which they will just be added to your bill. You will pay the bill when it is your time to check out hence it will not be cumbersome for you.
