Long story short, as a professional masseur I dig a variety of uber-effective massage techniques that can all be applied over the clothing. Those of you who have seen or met me at sporting events or other public onsite massage gigs are aware of it already!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newcomers to the world of massage have no idea what that means. Seriously, I\u2019ve been receiving bodywork for 5 years and I\u2019m not even sure what that means. (My personal \u201clevel of comfort\u201d as far as clothing goes typically involves a fluffy polar fleece sweatshirt and baggy, softer than soft sweatpants.)<\/p>\n\n\n

Based on this, here\u2019s some additional info that may help you decide what you want to wear (or maybe not) during a session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, no matter what, it\u2019s a rule that you will always be covered (draped) into a sheet and a blanket.  No sane masseur will ever allow a client to be left feeling exposed or chilly. As I will be going through the massage\u2019s progress, I will only uncover areas I am working on, one at a time, respecting and protecting your privacy at all times. When I work on an arm, I fold the sheet back and tuck it under your arm so it\u2019s comfy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As a former massage salon worker myself, I can tell you that this salon is one of the best. They do everything the right way, and their girls\u2019 hands are just made for the job they do, they bring me a pure relaxation!Elisa Maryhood<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I follow the same procedure for each leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decided you\u2019d like a belly massage work today (yep, it exists and it\u2019s wonderful)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such a case, regarding women, I use a soft cloth to cover their breasts and then I also tuck it around a person, like a wide bandeau top. All to an extent so that your abdomen is exposed, but again, your privacy is still upheld and protected. Don\u2019t want to expose your belly for abdominal work? Not an issue. I can massage you over the draping\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I work on the full back massage, I fold the sheet down at a person\u2019s hips. If you\u2019re wearing underwear, I may smoothly tuck the sheet around the waistband, so the massage oil will not be dripping there. If a lady I\u2019m working with wears a bra, I\u2019ll work around it. If you\u2019re wearing a tank top or shorts or long johns, I\u2019ll work through it. Socks? I\u2019ll work through these, too, despite this time it being a much harder ordeal to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For quite a while as of now, numerous massage therapists and bodyworkers were saying something like, \u201cUndress to your level of comfort.\u201d To be true, even me had fallen into starting the session with this phrase\u2026 But since then I\u2019ve learned to see it in a whole another light \u2013 as just way too vague.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If for any kind of the reason I feel I can\u2019t effectively treat your issue through the clothing which you\u2019re wearing at the moment, I\u2019ll tell you, and we\u2019ll figure out another approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For some people, that means leaving some clothing on. For others, it means taking it all off. Your preferences may vary from session to session as well. There is no right or wrong as it\u2019s your massage session.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But is there one garment of all which I will always ask you to remove? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely\u2026 That\u2019s your shoes! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially if the weather outside has made them muddy or wet.  This might seem like a no-brainer, but it may not sound like that to some\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, though? I\u2019ve had folks leave those on, too. I might just have you hang your feet off the edge of the table to protect my equipment or I\u2019ll put an extra towel\/blanket under it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And jewelry\/fitness trackers\/other accessories? It depends\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I will be massage such areas like the neck or hand\/forearm, you may want to take off any necklaces or bracelets because I don\u2019t want to cause damaging your valuables with massage oil\u2026  Neither I want problems by accidentally pulling on them during a procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also don\u2019t need to risk hurting you if I accidentally press or pull the item into you. I understand that some pieces (wedding bands, lockets, gauges, etc.) may be difficult to remove or have strong sentimental value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if there are any specific reasonable points you tell me about keeping them on, I don\u2019t mind about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, I can work around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, here\u2019s one more really important thing! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please know that regardless of your level of the dress you\u2019re wearing on the massage table, I never care about it and I\u2019m never judging you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole concept of the massage is about you and you only, so it\u2019s crucial that you feel comfortable. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
