Spa Massage Tips (ⅰ)

SPA按摩护理贴士
 Here are tips on how to get the maximize benefit from your massage.
1.      Be receptive and open to the experience and trust in the professionalism of the therapist
敞开心灵,坦率体验,相信专业人员的SPA服务。
2.      Don’t eat a heavy meal just before a massage session.
SPA按摩前不要吃得太饱。
3.      Be on time. If you arrive in a frenzied Rushed state, it will take longer to relax.
准时到达SPA场馆;如果急急忙忙,将需要更长的时间才能放松。
4.      Arrive early to take advantage of a sauna, steam bath or hot tub, which will warm your muscles and make it easier for the therapist to achieve results. If the hot tub has chlorinated water, be sure and shower before your massage.
最好可以提前一点到,先可以桑拿,或者蒸气沐浴,让肌肉放松,以便取得更好的效果;按摩前,先要沐浴。当然,现在国内,桑拿和蒸气浴,本是是疗程的一部分,这点主要还是强调SPA前,身体和心里,都要做好准备。
5.      Most massage takes place nude but you are fully draped at all times. If you do not want to remove all your clothing, wear clothing that you will be comfortable wearing during the massage and will allow the massage therapist to touch and move the areas of your body you expect will need to be worked on.
大多数的按摩都是需要裸露身体进行的,当然周围也有帘子来保护你的隐私;不过你如果不想脱去衣服,也可以穿着感觉舒适的衣着。按摩前,你可以告诉按摩师或美体师,你的身体特别是隐私部位允许触碰的范围,以及力度,以边SPA疗程可以顺利进行。当然有经验的按摩师或美容师,在SPA疗程前及进行中,都会征询你的意见。总的来说,也不用太多顾忌。
6.      Good communication is important.
愉快的交流是很重要的。优秀的按摩师,美容师,会用语言,播放的音乐,以及按摩的双手,和顾客有好的交流。SPA场所,语言很多时候是多余的,所以美容师美体师要注意客人身体的反应。
7.      Before the session, Let your massage therapist know what your needs are. During the massage session, report any discomfort, whether it is from the massage or anything else—room temperature, music volume, lighting, SPA equipment setting etc. Feel free to give feedback on the amount of pressure, speed of movement, etc.
按摩前,可以告诉按摩师你的喜好;按摩中,如果有不舒服的地方,比如温度,音乐,灯光,SPA设备设置等,应该随时告诉按摩师美容师.
8.      Don’t be afraid to discuss any apprehensions or concerns. Your massage therapist is a professional dedicated to do his or her best to help you feel at ease.
不要害怕讨论任何惧怕或关心的话题,你的按摩师很专业,会尽力让客人放松。这点在国内可能不太适用,不过确实也有美容师,按摩师能做到这点,既提供身体按摩护理,也提供心理慰藉,这也是留住熟客的重要方法。
