Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should You Get A Massage?
The frequency of massage depends on your body and your goals. At REVIVEO, we tailor recommendations to match your lifestyle.
-
Injury recovery or pain management: Weekly sessions support faster healing and ease discomfort.
-
Stress relief and relaxation: Every 4–6 weeks is usually enough to reset your system.
-
Athletes and active bodies: A massage every 1–3 weeks keeps muscles supple, reduces strain, and optimizes performance.
-
Pregnancy support: With shifting posture and hormone changes, sessions every 1–2 weeks help ease tension, relieve aches, and lower stress.
We like to put it this way: you don’t wait for your car to break down before changing the oil. Massage works the same way—it’s preventative care for your body.
Whatever your needs, REVIVEO will design a massage plan that keeps you moving, balanced, and performing at your best.
What Not to Do before your massage
​
-
Lift your energy with anything too heavy. Skip the large meals, alcohol, and caffeinated drafts. These can weigh down your senses and disturb the delicate balance we craft for your body and mind.
-
Avoid restrictive attire or topical distractions. Tight clothing confines your body's natural rhythm, and lingering lotions can interfere with our signature oils and techniques.
-
Postpone the sunbathing or deep exfoliation. Delicate skin is heightened after these rituals and may dulled by touch.
-
Hold the last-minute hot shower. A warm cleanse is a lovely way to start your day—but heated circulation right before your session could leave you sweaty and unsettled on the table .​
What to Embrace
-
Gentle nourishment is key. A light snack 1–2 hours beforehand gives your senses just enough energy—nothing heavy, nothing rushed.
-
Hydrate like royalty. Let your muscles soften and detox with kindness, as water primes every cell for healing.
-
Arrive with poise. Stepping in early gifts you a moment to drift into calm—no hurry, no fuss.
-
Drape yourself in ease. Soft, loose attire is your perfect ally—minimal effort, maximum comfort.
What Not to Do During a Massage
1. Don’t Endure Discomfort Silently
If the pressure feels too intense—or too light—or if you're physically uneasy, speak up. Adjustments enhance the therapeutic impact and prevent nausea, muscle guarding, or ineffective treatment.
​
2. Don’t Make Inappropriate Comments or Advances
This is a clinical, performance-driven environment—not a casual or intimate one. Comments with sexual connotation, even meant in jest (e.g., references to a “happy ending”), are strictly prohibited and can disrupt the session’s professionalism.
​
3. Don’t Fidget Excessively
Subtle shifts are okay, but constant movement makes it harder for your therapist to apply techniques precisely. Ideally, let your body relax and the practitioner guide the session.
​
4. Don’t Use Your Phone
Silence your phone before the session begins; interruptions can distract both you and your therapist and break your state of physio-psychological focus.
​
5. Don’t Ignore Personal Hygiene
Taking a shower before your appointment is not just thoughtful—it supports proper absorption of oils and ensures the massage glides smoothly.
​
6. Don’t Neglect Feedback
If something feels good, too intense, or just off—even in terms of room temperature, music, or lighting—communicate it. Immediate feedback helps tailor the session to your body's response.
​
7. Don’t Violate Boundaries of Touch
Therapists are trained to use professional draping and techniques. Any contact with intimate areas is out of bounds.
