Massage is one of the best things in life (in our not-so-humble opinion). It’s healthy, it feels great, and it improves mental as well as physical well-being.
But we know that not everyone realizes that massage is a treat, not a trick. We sometimes field apprehensive questions from massage newbies, and we’re here to answer them. Here are 9 reasons why in home massage is a boo-tiful thing.
I don’t have enough space for the massage table.
Fear not, home service massage newbie. A massage table fits in a surprisingly small space, and is deployed in studio apartments and snug hotel rooms throughout all our service area. A space 4-1/2=feet by 7 feet is sufficient.
I have cats or dogs.
Good news! According to the licensed massage therapists in our area, a full 93% have absolutely no problem with your furry bundle of joy.
A strange person is coming to my house.
Every single massage therapist at EynsMassage is licensed and insured in NY state to practice. When you schedule your appointment through our online system, you can find a photo and bio of our therapists, so you know exactly who they are. But we encourage you to call, text or email us to book a with full confidence.
I don’t know how much to tip.
We understand. That’s why we don’t force you to tip, 15%-20% is normal for a gratuity, but you’re not required to tip and you can always tip afterwards or before.
I’m injured or out of shape.
This is a common concern, but do not worry. Experienced and our licensed massage therapists have worked with a vast variety of people with all sorts of body shapes, ages, and physical conditions. Massage is for everybody.
I’ve never gotten a massage before and don’t know how to prepare.
You’re in luck. You really don’t have to do much in order to prepare for your first in-home massage. The massage therapist will do what’s called an “intake” – asking you a few questions about any physical conditions or pain points they should look out for. Then they will excuse themselves to wash their hands, which gives you the opportunity to undress (up to the point where you’re comfortable, of course) or you can just have a clothed massage. Then you just lay back and relax, and let the therapist do what they do best.
I have allergies.
Some people have concerns about the lotions and oils used by massage therapists causing a skin reaction. Fear not. EynsMassage can bring unscented oil or depending your allergies we can provide a special oil for your needs. Of course they are happy to use any product that you have at home – just make sure not to use coconut oil if you have a nut allergy.
I don’t want to be naked in front of a stranger.
You may be concerned about privacy or being uncovered. Massage therapists are extremely experienced at draping, or covering your body with sheets, except for the body part being worked on. No private areas of your body will be worked on or uncovered. If you’re uncomfortable undressing at all, or perhaps you’re hosting a spa party with a large group of acquaintances, then a clothed massage may be right for you. Similar to a chair massage, these clothed massages last just as long as any other massage and ours can focus on almost any part of the body like a Swedish massage.
I can’t fit massage into my schedule.
Most spas close after normal “business hours,” leaving you with no opportunity to get a massage after work or befriend bed. EynsMassage isn’t a spa but a wellness group. And that’s where EynsMassage comes in. You can book a EynsMassage in-home massage anytime within two to three days in advance, with start times as late as needs be. In fact, a whopping 40% of EynsMassage bookings occur after 7:00pm past when spas are typically closed or are fully booked for the day. Treat yourself to an end-of-day treat or reward today with EynsMassage.
