Quality preparation for a massage can significantly increase its effectiveness and your overall experience. Just follow a few simple rules.
Don't eat heavy meals 1-2 hours before the massage. A full stomach can cause discomfort, especially during an abdominal massage. However, a light snack is fine.
Drink enough water. Hydrated muscles respond better to massage and you also help your body flush out toxins afterwards.
Avoid alcohol and coffee just before the massage. Both substances can affect blood circulation and the body's sensitivity to touch.
Wear comfortable clothing. After the massage, you won't want to put on tight jeans or formal clothing. Loose sportswear is an ideal choice.
