Downtown Orlando | The NOW Massage (2024)

FAQs

Do you tip at the now massage? ›

It is a thoughtful gesture and common practice to include a gratuity of around 20% of the original price of the massage.

In general, the 20% rule applies to tipping your massage therapist. So, if you're wondering how much to tip for a $100 massage, you'd want to tip $20. If you're considering how much to tip for a 60-minute massage (that costs $100) – you'd still tip $20. However, generosity is generally very appreciated.

Swedish massage is arguably considered the most popular massage type, appearing on a majority of spa menus worldwide.

Remember, it's your choice, so let your therapist know what you are comfortable with. Many customers opt to remove just the top layer as a nice balance between allowing skin access while maintaining a degree of modesty. If being partially dressed feels comfortable to you, then this is the best option.

Since tips are standard protocol for massage therapists, you should assume a 20 percent tip in any massage or spa treatment situation (unless a self-employed therapist specifically tells you their rate is all-inclusive). Not sure? When in doubt, always ask, says Post, who says tipping is always appreciated.

The short answer would be as often as you like really. The long answer depends on many factors to include the type of massage you are having, your pain and physical needs and indeed your stress and emotional needs. A massage every week or every two weeks would be ideal but not realistic for every person.

1. Back – A full body massage is great for relieving tension and stress that can accumulate in the back, shoulders, and neck area. It helps to improve circulation, as well as reduce muscle spasms and knots that can cause pain and soreness.

If you live an active life, you should plan your massage on your rest days. Getting a decent massage when you're inactive is the ideal option. Unless a trainer recommends getting a sports massage during an active day, the best time to get a massage is on your off days.

No you do not have to take your underwear or bra off during a massage. As always, you (the client) only undresses to your comfort level. If you want to take everything off that's up to you – whatever you're comfortable with.

What do men wear during a full body massage? ›

Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your massage that you can easily take off and put back on. Dress down to your comfort level during your appointment. You can leave your undergarments on during your massage, or you can go bare. Take a shower beforehand, and be sure to drink plenty of water.
