No, your comfort is key. While some people choose to undress completely, if you are more comfortable leaving your underwear on, that is fine.

1. Massage in general feels good. Certain areas of tension or chronic pain may be uncomfortable. It is important to let your therapist know if you are experiencing any discomfort so they can adjust the pressure level and/or techniques accordingly.

1. Most people experience feeling very relaxed after their session. You may notice that your pain has decreased, that you feel looser, and are moving more freely.
2. Occasionally, people may experience feeling achy or sore after a massage or even the next day. During a massage, the soft tissue is manipulated to breakdown knots, adhesions, and relieve muscle tension. In the areas being stimulated, this can cause muscle soreness. Similar to when you work-out and use different muscle groups that you infrequently focus on. As your muscles recover you may notice an ease and comfort to your movement.

It is important to share this information with your therapist before the start of your session. They can use different pressure levels and techniques that can help. You may also request them to simply skip that area.

While most people like to simply relax during the massage, others enjoy having a conversation during their session. It is your time, and you can spend it, however, is most comfortable for you.

This can vary from person to person and is dependent on your goals and current health. As a rule of thumb, consider getting a massage 1-2x per month. Consult your massage therapist to create the best plan for you.
