Question about massage?

[CoffeeNow]

I'm going to be getting my first massage soon, and there a few things that I am a little nervous about. One thing that makes me a little worried is how sanitary a massage is. Is it possible to catch some type of disease from either the table or the massage therapist? The other thing I have a question about is how you feel after the massage. I'm easily effected by things, and I didn't want the massage to make me sick. It seems like with me little things that do not hurt normal people will hurt me. I don't want the massage to make that worse. I was going to get a massage though because I thought it might help my muscles stop aching, and maybe help with a few other health issues. Do people normally feel sick after a massage? I really want to get a massage, but I would be getting one while on vacation, and I do not want it to turn out badly and mess up the vacation. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You should print this question out and take it with you to your massage. Your massage therapist and you need to click or it wont be beneficial to you at all anyway. He/she will be able to answer all of these questions. Also, if you talk to them about all of these questions, you'll know how much you trust this person to work on you. Good luck! I love massages! I get them every 4-6 weeks.

The massage table is sanitized and covered with fresh sheets with each client, and in my state that is required by law. The massage therapist washes her hands with antibacterial soap before and after each client. Surprise inspections by state board inspectors make sure these standards are kept, so you are unlikely to catch anything contagious in a well maintained massage office.

If you feel sick later, it probably isn't related to getting the massage.
