How to Prepare for a Massage: What to Do Before Your Appointment

A massage should feel like deep reset, not homework. New clients often ask, “What should I do before my massage?” Here’s a simple, RN-informed guide to help you get the most from your session—especially for mobile massage in Las Vegas.

1) Stay Hydrated

Drink water before (and after) your massage. Hydration helps tissues respond to bodywork and supports circulation. Avoid heavy caffeine or alcohol right before your session—they can dehydrate and disrupt relaxation.

2) Eat Lightly

A light snack is fine; skip large meals right before your appointment. If you’re hungry, a small meal 60–120 minutes beforehand is ideal so you’re comfortable lying face-down.

3) Wear Comfortable Clothing

Choose loose, easy-to-remove layers and skip jewelry where possible. Coming from work or the gym? Bring a change of clothes so you leave feeling fresh and relaxed.

4) Give Yourself Time

Arriving rushed can cut into hands-on time and keep your nervous system in “go mode.” Aim to be ready a few minutes early—use the restroom, take a few slow breaths, and settle in.

5) Communicate Your Needs

Tell your therapist about injuries, sensitivities, or focus areas. Share preferred pressure (light, medium, firm). Your input helps tailor the session so you feel safe, supported, and seen.

6) Relax and Let Go

You don’t need to “do” anything during massage. Soften the shoulders, follow a slow breath, and allow your body to receive. If your mind wanders, gently return to the present.

Extra Tips for Mobile Massage (At Home)

• Clear a ~6′×9′ space for the table and a comfortable walking path.

• Room temp: slightly warm helps muscles relax.

• Pets: please keep them out of the treatment room.

• Access: have gate/valet/parking details ready.

• Add-ons included at Profusion Infusion: hot stones + Profusion aromatherapy with every session.

Keep it simple: hydrate, eat light, wear comfy clothes, give yourself time, and communicate your needs. The more relaxed and prepared you are, the deeper your results.
