Getting a therapeutic massage for the first time can bring excitement… and also a few questions. What should I wear? What will the session be like? What if I don’t know how to relax? The truth is that a massage is a simple experience designed for your well-being, and with a few small tips you’ll be able to enjoy it fully from the very first minute.
At Beganur Massages, we believe that caring for the body begins with trust and peace of mind. That’s why we’ve prepared a practical guide so you can arrive at your first session ready and worry-free.
1. Choose comfortable, light clothing
You don’t need anything special, but clothes that are easy to put on and take off are best. Many people prefer sportswear or cotton garments. Comfort will also help you feel more relaxed before and after the massage.
2. Arrive with time and without rushing
The massage is your moment. If you arrive in a hurry or stressed, your body will take longer to release tension. Try to get there a few minutes early so you can settle in and ease into the calm atmosphere.
3. Avoid heavy meals right before
Having a very full stomach can make a massage uncomfortable. Ideally, eat something light about two hours beforehand. If you’re hungry, a small snack like fruit or yogurt is a good choice.
4. Stay well hydrated
Water is essential for maintaining muscle elasticity and supporting recovery. Drinking before and after the massage helps the body eliminate metabolic waste released during the session.
5. Share your needs and questions
Every body is different. If you have specific discomfort, a history of injuries, or areas you’d prefer not to be treated, let your therapist know. You can also ask what the session will be like step by step: communication is key to making the massage a safe and personalized experience.
6. Let your body and mind relax
You don’t need to do anything special: just breathe deeply and allow the massage to work. Some people fall asleep, others chat a little, and others simply enjoy the silence. All reactions are valid—the important thing is that you feel comfortable.
Conclusion
Your first massage can be the beginning of a self-care routine that makes a real difference in your well-being. Preparing with these simple steps will help you get the most out of the session and leave with a feeling of lightness, calm, and vitality that your body needs.
At Beganur Massages (Santiago de Compostela), we take care of every detail so you can enjoy your first experience with complete trust, professionalism, and warmth.
Give your body the gift of stopping, breathing, and letting yourself be cared for.
