When taking advantage of these massages, please keep in mind to dress accordingly: avoid anything that comes up to your chin such as a turtleneck shirt or sweater, avoid slick shirt materials such as silk or rayon, and try sweatshirts or t-shirts. This helps our massage therapists to provide a better massage for you if they can have access to your neck and upper shoulder area!
