Unwind & Rejuvenate: Everything You Wanted to Know About Our Custom Massage

At Tulum Wellness Spa, we believe in the transformative power of massage therapy – not just for relaxation, but for holistic well-being. What sets us apart is our commitment to a truly personalized experience. It's natural to have questions, especially if you're new to massage or curious about how to make the most of your session. We've compiled some of the most frequently asked questions to help you feel confident and prepared for your next blissful, custom-tailored experience with us!

1. What type of massages does Tulum Wellness Spa offer?

At Tulum Wellness Spa, we simplify your choice by offering a Custom Massage every time. There's no need to choose a specific "style" beforehand! Our highly skilled and licensed massage therapists will conduct a thorough consultation with you to understand your unique needs, preferences, and any areas of tension or discomfort.

Based on this conversation, your therapist will intuitively blend various techniques and modalities – whether it's flowing strokes for relaxation, targeted deep tissue work for muscle knots, gentle prenatal techniques, or soothing hot stones – to create a massage session that is perfectly tailored to your body's specific requirements in that moment. Every massage is a unique experience designed just for you.

2. What are the benefits of regular Custom Massage therapy?

The benefits extend far beyond just feeling good! Regular, personalized massage can:

• Reduce stress and anxiety: Promoting deep relaxation and calming the nervous system.
• Alleviate muscle pain and stiffness: Releasing tension, knots, and improving flexibility.
• Improve circulation: Enhancing blood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body.
• Boost mood and energy: Through the release of endorphins.
• Enhance sleep quality: By fostering a state of deep relaxation.
• Support detoxification: By stimulating lymphatic drainage.
• Improve posture: By addressing muscle imbalances.

3. What should I expect during my first Custom Massage session?

When you arrive at Tulum Wellness Spa, you'll first have a brief, in-depth consultation with your licensed massage therapist. They will ask about your health history, any specific areas of concern (like a sore neck or tight shoulders), your preferences for pressure, and what you hope to achieve from the session. This is where your custom experience begins!

You'll then be directed to your private massage room where your therapist will leave you to disrobe to your comfort level (most clients disrobe completely, but you can keep underwear on if preferred) and get onto the massage table under a sheet. Throughout the massage, you will always be professionally draped, with only the area being worked on exposed.

Your therapist will check in with you about pressure and comfort during the session, adjusting techniques as needed. After the massage, they'll leave the room for you to slowly get dressed.

4. How often should I get a Custom Massage?

The ideal frequency depends on your individual needs, lifestyle, and goals.

• For general well-being and stress reduction: Monthly massages are often recommended.
• For chronic pain or specific issues: Weekly or bi-weekly sessions might be beneficial initially, then tapering off as symptoms improve.
• For intense physical activity or high stress: More frequent sessions could be very helpful.

Because each session is custom, your therapist can help you determine the optimal frequency for your unique body and lifestyle. Listen to your body and discuss with your therapist for a personalized recommendation.

5. What should I wear to my massage appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that you can easily change out of. During the massage, you will be given privacy to disrobe to your comfort level. Your therapist will ensure you are properly draped with a sheet throughout the entire session.

6. Is it normal to feel discomfort during targeted muscle work in a Custom Massage?

When your therapist focuses on releasing deeper muscle tension or knots, you might experience some intensity or "good pain." This sensation indicates that the muscle is responding to the work. However, it should never be excruciating or unbearable. Always communicate with your therapist if the pressure is too much or if you feel any sharp, jabbing, or burning pain. They can immediately adjust their technique to ensure your comfort and the effectiveness of the massage.

7. What should I do after my Custom Massage?

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage.
• Rest: Allow your body to continue relaxing and integrating the benefits of the massage.
• Listen to your body: You might feel a little sore or tired, especially after focused deep work – this is normal and usually subsides within 24-48 hours.
• Avoid strenuous activity immediately: Give your muscles time to recover and relax.

8. Can I get a Custom Massage if I have a health condition or injury?

It's crucial to inform your therapist about any health conditions, injuries, allergies, or medications during your consultation. Certain conditions may require modified techniques or a doctor's note. For your safety and to ensure the most effective and appropriate massage, always be transparent with your therapist.
