Should you be embarrassed if you sleep, snore, or drool while on the massage table? Never! Do any of these bother me as a therapist? No, not usually! If the goals for your massage are to relax, unwind, and leave stress behind – then it’s a compliment. If you’re seeing me for a therapeutic massage, then sleeping may mean we’ve missed our mark. Typically, a massage to address an acute muscular condition, chronic pain, or chronic muscle tension is more intense and requires your participation and feedback. A therapeutic massage doesn’t need to be painful and is still relaxing. You just can’t completely float away to Shangri La. By the way, each client gets clean linens - so drool away! And since I’m not trying to sleep, your snoring doesn’t bother me at all. |
