Booking your first massage can feel a little intimidating — especially if you’re not sure what to expect. At True Touch Wellness Massage, we’re committed to creating a relaxing, judgment-free space where you can fully enjoy the healing benefits of massage therapy, even if it’s your very first session.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly what happens before, during, and after your massage so you can arrive feeling informed, confident, and ready to relax.
💬 Before Your Appointment: What You Need to Know
- Booking Your Session:
You can book easily by texting or messaging us on WhatsApp at (352) 737-0256. Let us know if you have specific needs (pain, stress, pregnancy, etc.) so we can recommend the best massage type. - Hydrate Beforehand:
Drink plenty of water before and after your massage to help your body flush out toxins and stay hydrated. - Arrive a Little Early:
Arriving 5–10 minutes early gives you time to fill out a short intake form and discuss your goals with your therapist.
🛋️ During Your Massage: Your Comfort Comes First
- Clothing & Privacy:
You’ll be given privacy to undress to your comfort level. Most clients undress fully or keep underwear on — you’ll be covered with a sheet the entire time, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. - Communication Is Key:
Your therapist will check in on pressure, comfort, and focus areas. Don’t hesitate to speak up! Whether you want more pressure, less, or silence — this is your time. - Relax & Breathe:
You may notice your mind drifting off or your body twitching slightly — both are normal signs that your body is relaxing.
🧴 After Your Massage: What to Expect
- Take Your Time Getting Up:
Move slowly when your session ends. Your therapist will leave the room so you can redress comfortably. - Post-Massage Soreness:
Mild soreness is normal, especially after a deep tissue or sports massage. It should go away within 24–48 hours. - Hydrate & Rest:
Drink water and take it easy. Your body has just done some deep healing — let it integrate the work.
🧠 First-Timer Tips
- Don’t eat a heavy meal beforehand
- Turn off your phone or put it on silent
- Trust the process — it’s okay if it takes a few sessions to feel fully relaxed
