Every once and awhile someone asks me if it is alright to talk during the massage. I say it is your massage, talk if you want. If it makes you more comfortable chit-chatting in the beginning then tapering off, please do. If you want silence, that works too.
When you come in for an appt, I will ask how you are etc, and I really do want to know. I am an incredibly friendly person and am happy to hear about what is going on with you and your life if you feel like sharing. However, once we get on the table….. I WILL NOT TALK TO YOU UNLESS YOU TALK FIRST AND IT REQUIRES A RESPONSE. Of course, I will need to ask about pressure a few times, but that only requires 1 sentence by me and a few words by you.
So please do not feel obligated to talk to me or to remain in absolute silence. It is your massage and your time, speak if you must…
