It’s usually best to close your eyes, lie back and relax into the massage. But it’s up to you. Be sure to speak up if you’re feeling too cold or too hot, if you experience any pain, or if you would like the massage changed in any way. Massage is intended to make you feel better – therapists would much rather you tell them what isn’t right than keep a stiff upper lip and then not return because you didn’t enjoy your experience.
