Deep Tissue Therapy addresses chronic tensions in deep muscle layers. Your therapist will progress carefully and gradually with medium to strong pressure. For you to receive maximum benefits and to avoid discomfort, we would like to make the following suggestions:
Stay present and listen to your body. Be aware of areas of discomfort or pain.
Be aware of your breath. Inhale and exhale with the massage. If you feel the need to verbalize your feelings while exhaling, please do so.
Communicate with your therapist about your comfort level on the pressure and stretches.
After your session, drink plenty of water to assist your body in flushing dislodged toxins.
Spa guests' guide on how to fully enjoy maximum benefits from your Mandala Spa & Villas treatment
To receive the maximum benefits from your chosen massage treatment, Mandala Spa suggests the following:
Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled treatment. Prior to your massage, you will receive a sarong to change into. We strongly suggest that all clothing and jewelry be left in your locker. If you feel more comfortable leaving your undergarments on, that's fine too. During your massage, your therapist keeps your entire body draped, and only undrapes that part that is being massaged.
Once you are with your therapist you will be asked certain questions, such as whether there is anything you feel that you need to convey. Feel free to express your needs so as to receive specific attention to tense or trouble spots. Your therapist will ask you a few questions to ascertain the most optimum treatment for your session.
Relax. This is time for you, your body and your mind, to release the worries and stresses of the day. Deep breathing and closing the eyes will assist in your complete relaxation.
Let your therapist know if you are comfortable or uncomfortable, too warm or too cold or if the massage pressure is too light or too intense.
Trust your massage therapist to move your limbs in whatever position is necessary for and during the massage.
Enjoy the massage and know that you are doing something very good for your body and your mind. You deserve this healthy interlude.
