There are a few things that you need to know before entering any asian massage parlor. Don’t worry, it’s not too difficult or anything that complicated that you need to know. Pretty much just some basic parlor ettiqute and a few other things. I’m going to give you the rundown of everything that I know about getting a massage at one of these establishments. Since I own one, it’s relatively easy for me to share the top five tips!

Lower back massage can help ease back pain, particularly when it’s acute back pain. Several different motions and techniques can help release the pain in the lower back. Whether you’re looking to find a relaxing massage near you, just getting started with a Swedish massage, enjoying a romantic couple’s massage for two, or healing your body with a sports massage, Spafinder’s listings include quality providers with endless modalities and customizations at a spa or wellness locations near you.

Best Massage Parlor Tips

I’ll keep this very simple and a quick read since I imagine you’d rather spend your time preparing for your massage versus reading. Firstly, I’d say that most important thing you need to know before visiting an asian massage parlor is that these massage therapists don’t like dirty people. You should always respectfully go to the massage parlor clean! Don’t show up sweaty or in a poor hygienic state. Having good personal hygiene is a must if you want to be treated well at the massage parlor. If you don’t take care of yourself, then the woman giving you a massage won’t take good care of you. Okay, she might take good care of you but will take better care of you if you take care of yourself. Some people may feel this doesn’t matter, but I’d like to think otherwise.

Second, go to the ATM machine. You always want to bring cash with you to the Asian massage parlor. There are always a lot of additional services that therapists have to offer. Some of which are likely to be upsells that you’ll be offered while in session. These can be the best services offered. It’s almost a guarantee to be asked if you want to purchase one of these upsell offers.

Another tip before visiting the parlor is to call ahead and make an appointment. Don’t just show up and expect to get the hottest most incredible massage girl at the place because there’s a good chance she’s all booked up. Give yourself plenty of time before and after your massage in order to enjoy the full experience.

If you’re visiting a massage parlor for the first time, I’d suggest you read the reviews of the place prior to going. Watch mtv roadies. For example, I provide proof from various client experiences at our massage parlors on the Happy Tugging website. Visiting a massage parlor is no different than visiting a restaurant. You want to read the reviews and find out what place is ranked and rated the best.

My last suggestion would be to not be open and not ask people that you don’t trust. Some individuals may get the wrong impression of you whether or not you’re going to the parlor for a basic massage or the full service.

How do I give a back massage?

You can use lotion, cocoa butter, oil, or lanolin for a massage.

• Put a small amount of warm lotion or oil on your hands. Rub your hands together so the lotion is spread evenly on your hands.
• Move your hands slowly during the massage to help the person relax.
• Start massaging the back at the lower back. Move your hands upward on both sides of the spine all the way to the shoulders.
• Make a circular motion as you move your hands upward. Press a bit more firmly with your thumbs as you make the circles.
• Move across the shoulders and start moving down the upper arms. Use less pressure as you move downward.
• Ask if you are applying too much or too little pressure as you massage. Ask the person to tell you if he feels pain in any area. Do not massage a painful area, or massage it very gently.
• Apply more lotion on your hands as needed.

What else do I need to know about a back massage?

• Check the person's skin for any sores or redness before you start the massage.
• Use good body mechanics while you give the massage. This will help protect the muscles of your own back, shoulders, and arms.
• Stop massaging an area if the person says they feel numbness or tingling in their arms or legs.
• Stop using lotion if it causes a rash or itching.
