Try this tips from the American Massage Therapy Association to get the most from your massage sessions:

• Don’t eat immediately before your appointment.
• Be on time. If you arrive in a rush, it will take longer to get to a relaxed state.
• Report any discomfort during the session, whether it’s from the
• massage or related to the environment, e.g., room temperature or
• lighting.
• Quiet your mind by focusing on how the therapist’s touch feels.
• Don’t get off the table too quickly after the massage if you’re dizzy.
• Drink extra water after a session.
• Massage releases waste products and toxins from your muscles. Increasing your fluid intake lowers this toxicity and lessens the strain on filtering organs.
• Allow for some open, quiet time after your massage.
