How to Prepare for Your First Professional Massage Session
Booking your first massage is a step toward better health, less stress, and deep relaxation. But if you’ve never experienced a professional massage before, it’s normal to feel unsure about what to expect. At Sun Shine Spa, Puducherry, we welcome many first-time clients every month and believe that a little preparation can make your session smoother, more comfortable, and more effective.
Here’s everything you need to know before your first visit.
🗓️ Book the Right Type of Massage
Not all massages are the same. Are you looking for relaxation, pain relief, or better sleep? Understanding your goal helps you and your therapist choose the best treatment. At Sun Shine Spa, we offer a wide range of therapies—from Swedish and Deep Tissue to Aromatherapy and Reflexology. If you’re unsure, our team is happy to guide you during booking.
🥗 Avoid Heavy Meals Before Your Session
A light snack is okay, but avoid eating a heavy meal right before your massage. Lying on your stomach or back with a full belly can be uncomfortable. Aim to eat at least 1 to 2 hours beforehand so your body feels light and relaxed.
🚿 Take a Shower and Wear Comfortable Clothing
Arrive fresh and clean—it helps you feel confident and allows your therapist to work effectively. You’ll be asked to undress only to your comfort level (you’ll always be covered with clean towels or sheets during the massage). Wear loose, comfortable clothes that are easy to change in and out of.
🕰️ Arrive Early and Relax
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early for your first massage appointment at Sun Shine Spa, MG Road Area, Puducherry. This gives you time to fill out a short intake form, discuss any health issues or preferences with your therapist, and ease into a calm, relaxed mindset before the session starts.
🧘 Communicate with Your Therapist
Don’t hesitate to speak up. If the pressure is too much, or you’d like more focus on a certain area (like shoulders or lower back), let your therapist know. Massage is a personal experience, and your comfort is always our top priority.
💦 Hydrate After Your Massage
After your session, drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage. You may feel relaxed, sleepy, or energized afterward—everyone reacts differently. Give yourself time to rest and enjoy the calm.
