What Should I Prepare Before an In-Home Massage?

Very little! Your massage therapist will bring the massage table (or chair), clean linens, lotion, and other necessary equipment. All you need is a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax during your session.

Choose a Comfortable Space

A small open area is usually enough.

Ideal locations include:

• Living room

• Bedroom

• Home office

• Guest room

• Apartment

• Hotel room

A space of about 8 × 10 feet is usually sufficient for a massage table and for the therapist to move comfortably around it.

Wear Comfortable Clothing

Before your session:

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing.

• If you're receiving a therapeutic table massage, your therapist will explain how to prepare and will ensure proper draping to protect your privacy.

• If you're receiving chair massage or stretching, comfortable athletic clothing is often ideal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before your appointment, but avoid eating a large meal immediately beforehand. A light snack 1–2 hours before your massage is usually a comfortable choice for many people.

Share Your Health Information

Tell your therapist if you have:

• Recent surgery

• Pregnancy

• Neck or back injuries

• Joint replacements

• High blood pressure

• Blood-thinning medications

• Allergies

• Areas you want avoided

• Current pain or discomfort

This helps your therapist tailor the session safely to your needs.

Keep Pets and Children Safe

If possible:

• Place pets in another room.

• Arrange childcare if needed.

• Turn off televisions and minimize distractions.

A quiet environment helps you get the most from your treatment.

Prepare the Room

To make your session more enjoyable:

• Adjust the room to a comfortable temperature.

• Have a nearby electrical outlet if requested.

• Dim the lights if you prefer.

• Silence your phone.

• Make sure there is enough room for the therapist to walk around the table.

Do I Need Towels or Sheets?

No.

Your therapist will typically bring:

• Professional massage table

• Clean sheets

• Face cradle covers

• Blankets

• Lotion or cream

• Sanitizing supplies

What Happens When the Therapist Arrives?

Your therapist will:

1. Introduce themselves.

2. Review your health history and goals.

3. Assess your pain, posture, or movement if appropriate.

4. Set up the equipment.

5. Explain the treatment plan.

6. Answer any questions before starting.
