People go to the spa to receive treatments that are designed to pamper their bodies. One of the most popular treatments to have done is massage. People get massage treatments both as a holistic approach to treat various aliments and as a way to relieve stress.

 

One important thing that massage therapists must remember is that massage is meant to be a relaxing experience. The massage therapist must do everything in his/her power to be sure that client is relaxed and peaceful. Things like turning off cell phones and having soothing music are important. Also, having clean linens and towels and a tidy, uncluttered massage room is necessary too. One other thing that can enhance the client's relaxing experience is the color of the massage room. When choosing the color of the room, it is important that relaxing colors, such as those found in nature, are used. Using vibrant colors can have a stimulating effect that can counteract the relaxing effect of the massage. Therefore, neutral colors of soft blues or greens are great colors to be used in a massage room to enhance relaxation.
