The 5 Key Steps to Receiving a Body Rub That Will Help You to Feel Better
- You’re always right, and you should get exactly what you want. Many people assume that a body rub provider is a professional and will say whatever they want. Body rub services are no different. The old saying that the customer is always right applies to body rub service. While it is important to work with a trusted expert, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to focus more on one area or use different pressure.
A “trusted expert”, will listen to what you have in mind and help you reach your goals. You won’t let someone sell you something you don’t want, even though this happens all the time in the market. This is also true for body rub services. Your body rub provider should be able to listen to what you have to say and help you find the best solution.
It is fine to terminate a body rub session if you feel that your body rub provider is not listening. Although it may sound harsh, it is not acceptable to waste your time or money on ineffective treatments.
- Here are some things you can expect from your body rub service. Your desired outcome should be achieved by your body rub service. It is important to know that your body rub providers will listen to you and provide a body rub that is both relaxing and enjoyable. You should feel comfortable calling in to book your body rub. It is a good idea to inquire about the credentials and experience of the body rub provider.
To ensure that you have had a positive experience, it is a good idea to speak to an existing client. Ask to visit the establishment where you will receive your body rub. Is it clean and relaxing? How does the energy feel in the facility? Is it in tune with your energy? Does it feel like a place you can trust? You should also ask to meet the provider before you go to the body rub. This will ensure that you feel comfortable with them.
After you’ve booked your body rub and arrived for your service, you’ll be asked to complete some paperwork. You should allow enough time for the paperwork to be completed so that it doesn’t interfere with your body rub. Remember that a body rub professional is likely to be very busy with other clients.
While every body rubs establishment or provider have different routines, some of the these in the following discussion are typical. However, it varies on location and your provider. You should be welcomed at the establishment and given water. Then fill out paperwork and wait for your provider to arrive. The provider should introduce himself to you, welcome you, and then direct you back into the body rub room. Before proceeding, the provider will ask about your goals and listen to what you have to say. The provider should make you feel like they care about your goals and are interested in helping to achieve them. You should feel relaxed and comfortable in the treatment room. You can choose to be fully clothed by your body rub provider.
Notice: Some people may feel more comfortable if they don’t have to take off all their clothes. This is fine. Clients who began with me completely clothed have had me rub their skin. Body rubs are more effective when applied directly to the skin. Another fact is that skilled body rub therapists can still give great rubs while you are dressed in your best clothes.
During a body rub, you should cover your body with sheets or drape it with sheets. This is not a law but it is for your comfort. It means that you will only be able to see the rub area. You will cover the rest of your body with a sheet, and if you’re cold, a blanket.
Note: I have had body rubs at places that used very few towels to cover my naked skin. Although I feel very comfortable with my body and I can tolerate the cold, one particular session made me very uncomfortable. The draft made it very uncomfortable.
After explaining where to put your clothes, the practitioner will leave and will say that they will return in a few minutes to begin your body rub.
Note: In our clinics, we have a relaxation switch that turns on the outside light when the client presses it. This allows you to be ready. I’ve had many experiences with clients not sleeping well and opening their doors. To avoid uncomfortable racing to the tables situations, make sure the establishment has a “relaxation button”.
The provider should arrive on the table as soon as you’re comfortable. The provider will enter the room to ask how you feel at the table. What is the temperature in the room? How does the table feel like? How does the table feel with pillows and bolsters?
Before the provider starts the body rub, they should inform you that you can request more or less pressure at any point during the session. The body rub provider should not speak to you if you are receiving the body rub for relaxation purposes. When I ask body rub clients about their experiences, this is the number one complaint. I’ve heard from providers who would tell clients about their personal problems, while they are paying high-priced money to counsel them on their personal matters.
Remember the first step. You are always right. Your provider who is an expert in body rub will be able to listen to your goals and will therefore be more quiet during your body rub session.
Notice: A body rub is not intended to relieve pain or treat a specific injury. Your body rub provider will need your medical history and explain the treatment. Also, you may be asked to change positions on the table: face down, side-laying or back.
Your providers will thank you for your session and talk to you about your muscular health after the body rub. Your provider will discuss the recommendations for a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. You may only need to come in once a month for body rub to reduce stress levels and help you manage your life better. Or, you may need to be there twice a week for six weeks to address a specific problem.
No matter what your case may be, the provider who you work with should help you create a plan to achieve your body rub goals. You may find that body rub service is not the best way to reduce your pain. Your provider will refer you to the right therapy or group that can help you.
- What is a body rub modality and why body rub modalities have become passé. You will be astonished at the variety of body rub options available. A body rub modality refers to a technique that is specifically designed for a particular purpose. Many body rub modalities are available and can be overwhelming for someone who has never had a massage. Providers are often misinformed about the various body rub modalities they offer. This is because of the third point I mentioned in the possible problems body rub clients can experience when receiving a body rub.
Body rub practitioners are the only ones who know how to do shiatsu, deep tissue massage, reiki, deep tissue, or Swedish massage. You, the body rub client, care about only one thing: that your body rub will help you reach your goals for that session. It doesn’t matter what modality is used to reach these goals, whether it is stress management, injury prevention, injury rehabilitation or pain relief. You may not know the name of the modality. If you’re faced with the decision of whether to have a Swedish, deep tissue or shiatsu massage, or a tragedy, you might want to consider another place to get your body rub service. It is important to find a professional who will listen to you and offer a range of modalities to meet your needs.
- How to communicate effectively with your body rub provider. You are always right, and you should expect the best from your body rub service. You should be able to communicate with your body rub provider before, during, and after your body rub service. Your provider should respond immediately to any requests for more or less pressure.
You should let the provider know if you are feeling uncomfortable and they will make the necessary adjustments. It’s easy just to speak up. Too many body rub clients have complained that they felt uncomfortable after receiving a body rub. However, they didn’t speak up, because they didn’t want to upset their provider.
The deal is that if your provider reacts defensively to your feedback, it’s possible to end the session at any time. The service should not cost you anything. A body rub professional will listen to you and address your concerns before you even have the chance to say them.
- Body rubs may be free (yes, that’s right, it’s free).
When I get what I want, I don’t mind paying a little extra. I buy products based on a problem that I want to solve or a pain that I wish to avoid. The same goes for body rub services.
If stress causes you to feel more calm and relaxed, you will be happy to pay the fee. What if you could get the treatment that eases your stress or pain for no cost? Does that sound too good to be true! Some body rub parlors offer referral incentive programs that will reward you with a free body rub or money towards your next service.
If the body rub place you visit does not deliver a body rub that exceeds or meets your expectations, then you will get a more useless body rub. There are many options on the market. This will help you get a body rub that is right for you.
