neck massage therapy
Massage therapy?

I am going to get my first massage. the massage I am getting is just a back and neck (30 min). I was wondering what should I expect for this type of massage? What should I wear? sweatpants? ect? What do you wear for back and neck only massage?

Normally, for that kind of massage, you will be asked to remove your clothes to your comfort level (after the therapist leaves the room) and lie on the table face down with a sheet covering your body. If you’re just getting a back and neck massage, you can leave your pants on, but I would recommend sweat pants or athletic shorts. You could leave your shirt on if you feel uncomfortable, but to get a good massage it is best to take it off. And if you’re a woman, removing your bra would be better too, but not absolutely necessary if you’re uncomfortable with it.

After you’re undressed and lying face down on the table with the sheet over your body (up to your neck), the therapist will come back into the room. He/she will fold the sheet down, so that your legs and buttocks are covered, but your back is exposed so that it can be massaged. After the massage, the therapist will usually ask if you need anything and then leave the room while you get dressed.
