First time to a massage therapist

I'm going for the first time tomorrow - what should I expect? Are you fully unclothed? Or is that dependant on the massage therapist. Just wondering if I should actually wear underwear under my workout pants tomorrow morning.

I go nude. You're completely covered with a sheet except for the area they're working on. You can wear undies if you want, but that gets in the way of glute work. They work on one leg at the time and cover the rest. (I couldn't relax w/ my crack showing )

Just tell the therapist it's your first massage and ask what you should wear/not wear, whether to start off facing down/up on the table, etc. Also be vocal about anything else like if you're too warm/cool, if the pressure's too light/hard.

I had a wonderful massage just this morning. I don't wear anything either because it interferes with the massage. You will be kept covered, but if you're uncomfortable being nude, try wearing a thong.

Thanks! What a great experience! I have to admit though, I really just felt like going back to bed afterward.

I also didn't realize just how many knotted up spots there were in my back/traps - until she hit them.
