    Each place and each therapist will always be slightlly different. Sometimes on the paperwork they will ask if there's any spots that you don't want massaged (such as tummy/chest etc), other times they don't ask but you can always specify. See if your therapist does the decolletage while you lie on your back. It's to die for. They do this sweeping thing from your forehead, down past your jaw, behind your neck and then around your decolletage. I could seriously just lie for an hour with that alone.
    The disposal undies are optional. I usually keep my own on and they will keep you covered with towels etc. When doing your back, they will pull your undies down just a little bit and tuck the towel in - that's normal. Feel free to tell them if the pressure is too light or too heavy for you and they should adjust it for you.
    Don't forget to drink plenty of water afterwards for the rest of the day, as massage releases toxins from your muscles and you need to flush it out of your system. Otherwise you can end up feeling like you're coming down with the flu if you don't drink any water (made that mistake once).
    Hopefully you get a great, nurturing therapist. Enjoy!

    Are you going to a chinese massage therapist? Be prepared for some body on body contact! The last girl I had actually got on all fours ON me and walked up and down my back and legs. Was AH-MAZE-ING.

    Usually, I am naked, they cover with sheet or towels to keep you warm when they are not working on certain areas. Every full body massage I have ever had is head to toe FULL body. The only place I have never been touched is my stomach. Butt, thighs, feet, head, fingers, boobs, everywhere is done and it is simply sensational.

    Make sure you shower and scrub well before going, and I like to make sure I am waxed - just feels nicer - but don't go within a week of having it done or I end up with ingrown central.

    They will ask you to fill out a medical form - like preexisting condtions, problem areas, etc, allergies...be very thorough. Don't be scared to ask them or tell them how you want it done - pressure, speed, etc. If you don't want them to do an area, just tell them not to and ask them to concentrate on the areas you want done. You need to be firm with your therapist - don't be shy or scared to ask for what you want or tell them they are being too rough or too gentle. If you don't like an oil they are using, tell them. If you want them to shut up, tell them

    Enjoy!!
