Are you considering a massage at home but do not know what to expect, here is the ultimate guide for you to know everything about how it works. Mobile massage can be of great benefit and makes massage more accessible to many people. It has gained traction in the past few years as life has gotten busier and people have less time to dedicate to themselves.
What is a Mobile Massage and how does it work?
A mobile massage is where an experienced massage therapist will come to you, set up a massage space within your house and offer you a massage from the comfort of your own home. We offer a range of massage services in Galway and surrounding areas and you can find out more info here
Your home is where you feel most at ease and that translates into the massage – it is your safe space so receiving a massage in that environment allows for deeper relaxation.
What are the benefits of Mobile Massage compared to visiting a spa?
- Convenience
- Flexibility
- Saves time and effort
- Extends relaxation time after
Without the hassle of having to leave your home and get stuck in traffic, rushing to get to your appointment and then having to find parking which can sometimes leave you feeling a bit stressed and flustered before you even go to the spa. With a massage at home you do not have to lift a finger, all you have to do is book in your massage and then let us take over and do all the rest.
Here is a review from Galway Now about why they are a massage at home convert.
What do I need to prepare for a mobile massage?
For a full body massage you do not need to have anything ready – just a space big enough to fit the massage table. You can have your hair tied up for the massage, to get it out of the way. Your massage therapist then will bring all the essentials – massage bed, heated blanket, linens, oils and music. All our equipment is spa-quality meaning that during your massage you do not have to sacrifice comfort for the convenience of a massage at home.
For a pregnancy massage you will need to have three pillows and two small towels ready because pregnancy massage is done in a side-lying position and the pillows add comfort and stability. Again make sure to go to the bathroom beforehand to ensure maximum comfort throughout the massage.
If you are adding a face or head massage your massage therapist will need to have a chair available for that part of the massage.
You have the option to darken out the room, light a few candles or even pop the heat on if it is a bit chilly on the day. Switching off the phone is recommended so that you don’t have any distractions from the outside world. This is your time to focus inward and relax your mind and body.
What should I do when the therapist arrives?
When your massage therapist arrives to your home, it will take them about ten minutes to set up the massage table and get the space ready so you are more than welcome to stay and chat for a few minutes or you can let them set up and go and change into a dressing gown or something nice and cosy to get ready for your massage. Make sure you go to the bathroom beforehand and have some water ready for hydrating after your massage.
What should I do before my massage?
I would recommend that you make the most out of your experience and start the relaxation beforehand. We all can have busy minds and it is better to slow that down before you start your massage. Otherwise you might find yourself only switching off at the end of the massage. Do something nice for yourself that will allow you to switch off. That can be a walk without your phone, do a short meditation or take a mindful moment to have a warm drink and just be present for the whole thing.
What should I do after my massage at home?
Always have some time carved out for yourself after your massage. Have a nice warm bath afterwards and soak in all the effects of the massage. The heat is great for releasing tension in the muscles so can be quite nice especially if you prefer a deep tissue massage. Pop on your favourite show or read that book you have been meaning to read for ages. Making the time for you to just do whatever you want to do.
