Massage for the Upper Body
When you have an ache or pain in your upper or lower back, the ideal situation is for you to completely remove your top to allow full access to your back muscles.
For Males, this shouldn’t be as much of an issue.
For Females, a sports bra or one that allows to access the aching back muscles will be fine.
All clients are covered with a fresh clean towel or sarong throughout.
Massage for the Lower Body
Generally, if the lower part of your body is to be treated, wearing a pair of loose-fitting shorts is the best idea.
If they are too tight, like cycling shorts, it can cause an issue with the massage as they can restrict access to the higher part of your leg.
Any clothes worn should be easily moved out of the way as any massage on your thighs or calves will be more beneficial if we can see and get to the muscles on your legs.
Specific Clothing Rules
Ideally, please wear as little around the area to be treated as possible.
- Make sure clothes can easily be removed or rolled up
- You can pull it up or out of the way for treatment
- We can observe the muscles you are having trouble with as well as those surrounding them
- Make sure clothes are thin and/or loose fitting
Remember these tips so that I can help you get the most out of your massage.
Accessibility is particularly important, as often the problem causing the pain or ache you have may not even be in the muscle that hurts.
It can be an issue with another muscle groups nearby, so easy access to the general area of the pain will be advantageous
