I just got home from my first massage and I feel great, never felt so relaxed in my life. My job is harsh on my body, and earlier my back was hurting now I'm stress and pain free. Got my next appointment booked in 2 weeks. Definitely changed my life.
Thank you I've been avoiding getting a massage because I have anxiety about not knowing what to expect and feeling my modesty and anxiety would get in the way of being able to relax
I remember carrying on quite a conversation with my therapist as I was lying on my back and she was working on my shoulders and I just fell into this sudden trance. I stopped talking and felt very ethereal. And tired. It definitely had a positive effect on me.
Seriously! I'm glad you're telling people to just let me do my job and that my main goal is to help them relax. If they're trying to help me it's counterproductive.
My first massage was at the mall I used to work in. On my breaks I would go for walks around the mall and always noticed the massage place at the other side of the mall but always just walked by it. It’s not sketchy at all the beds and chairs are in view behind a glass facing the main hallway. One day I had an hour break so I said why not... And i came out a new person! The occipital bone massage is soooooo nice
Had my first massage today at age 27. One of the best experiences in my life. If you’re thinking about getting one and are not sure if it’s worth it. Trust me, it is. On a side note, I literally told my friend I can’t believe it took me this long for my first massage. I’ve been missing out all these years.
Then what you say about me.. then? Getting my first time ever at age 34???? Hello? And I'm going back the next 2 weeks.. I liked it, but I want MORE... 😩 😫 😊
@@shellyanncrosby5686 lol I’m turning 34 and for my birthday I’ve booked a massage appointment. I’m quite excited 😆 been dealing with back pain after giving birth so hopefully it will help ease
What a great video! I've had 1 full body massage in my life and it was WONDERFUL! I'm trying to convince my spouse of 45 years to get one. This video was very calming and I will share it.
Thanks for informing on what to do after getting undressed and how to lie on the table. During my first massage nobody told me to lie UNDER the sheets.
It is unfortunate that no one told you, as one can be quickly informed of how to lie on the table. As you can see from this video, there's a lot that can be said. It can be easy for a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) to forget a small detail like this.
I definitely have always felt that weird “massage drunk” feeling afterwards so many times. It’s such a weird and unique feeling, but it’s good. I thought it was just me! I got my first massage a few years ago (age 20 I think) and I’ve been addicted ever since. I hate when I try a new place though and they suck, I always feel so ripped off haha. There’s a couple of places that are always amazing though so I stick to them now!
Great advice especially for somebody going to get their first massage,Spencer that is the best video I have watched on this subject, keep up the good work you are putting out there for your subscribers,
Thank you. Years ago my husband gave me a massage groupon and I never went. Last May he gave me a gift certificate for a one hour massage. I have been cringing about it. Now I feel ready to go.
Great health benefits to getting regular massages! It definitely is addicting when you see how great you feel! Don’t be scared, a good therapist will make you feel as comfortable as possible!
Spencer, you're so awesome. I'd feel 100% comfortable with you. You're such a pro. Thanks for all your talents and skill and for sharing them. I love watching your videos buddy!
I honestly just answered all the questions I was wondering about. Especially near the end. I have a terrible scar on my right arm from pulling a kettle over myself as a child so my upper right up has that melted look. Been absolutely paranoid. Still going to be self conscious about it but your answers have definitely helped! Ty
Great job my man. I'm going to use this video for new and hell even old clients as you covered every base needed for clients to know what to expect!!! Thank you! Plus you're totes adorbs!!
I hate it when people say "get naked" when talking about massage. Next thing you know they are going to tell clients to lie "face down, ass up"! 🤣 I don't say "dress down", are we telling them it's casual rather than formal? I always use "disrobe".
My first massage experience, the masseuse was drying my hands because she had massaged them and I accidentally held her hand for a moment instinctively. Then she thought I was wanting a “Happy Ending” and said-“no honey I’m too old for you” It was so embarrassing because I couldn’t explain to her that I didn’t want that as she wasn’t a confident English speaker. And I’m gay so it’s not like I ever had that intention anyway
Thank you - great information! I myself was concerned about getting “too relaxed” during a massage - developing an erection, farting or both. Thankfully these things never occurred, but if they did, what’s the big deal anyway? The whole point is to relax and chill and be in the moment. The whole experience is focused on the parasympathetic nervous system - “rest and relax” - so getting an erection, relaxing sphincter muscles and passing gas are all within the normal purview of a good, relaxing massage. Just enjoy the experience!
An hour basic massage is about $60, a payment of $70 should make your massage therapist happy at 17% tip. Hot Stones 60 min massage at $85, would be about $100 with tip. General rule of thumb 15-20% tip. I have some clients that don't tip, but are frequently on my calendar. While tipping isn't mandatory, it sure makes a difference in building a successful business. Having competitive rates makes tipping easier.
I have a question: I have sensitive skin that sometimes burns when products are put on it. Are the oils/creams used at massage parlors designed for sensitive skin? Do I need to talk about this with my therapist before startimg a session?
Spencer, I was hoping you were going to discuss what happens when you have to use the restroom during a massage? Especially if the bathroom is located outside of the treatment room. I usually have to go at least once. Since most people are undressed, do you offer a robe so that person can go and use the restroom? Thank you.
I would try different massage therapist some are experienced others just starting I find the best therapist are experience in a variety of massage techniques and have a great ambiance low lights meditative music and essential oils just find one that is best for you.
i just had my first massage will need to go to a differnt place though as i dont think they did a good job. i was propersisioned for "extras" so it was not a good first time experiance. did have the massage as i did actually want a proper massage due to neck pain but honnestly it was uncomfortable. gonna give it a month and try a proper salon. my problem now i dont know if you should ask them if its a legit massage dont want to sound like a perv but dont want that confusion again as i felt awkward for a good 15 mins during
stretching is the only real thing that helps. Bengey and IceyHot type stuff just mess with the nerves. kinda like how painkillers dont kill the cause of pain but the nerves that feel the pain. not a solution.
I've heard how some people really like massages, (including some family members) but for me no way ...I can't stand the thought of a stranger touching any part of my body. I'll just deal with any and all pains that I have..... nothing against massage therapists... just my distaste of the idea of a massage.
Okay here's a serious question, is it proper to tip a massage therapist? Is that common practice at all? I have severe social anxiety, and just thinking about not giving the right amount of money makes me cringe and keeps me from going.
60mins, It's hardly worth taking your clothes off. 90mins is the best duration. I can vouch to the addiction part. Thank goodness I have great health benefits via my work. I love a full body including glutes and abs. I've had over 300 session thus far. Most therapist have been great, some duds but one never knows. In some sessions there has been a bit of sexual tension in the air but you just enjoy the ride. I have had three offers of a happy ending throughout my massage sessions. One in a massage clinic and two at high end spas. Oh come on, you know it happens. I should say I always have a male therapist; so maybe it's a guy thing. Truly climbing on the massage table at times can be quite the adventure.

Do you just go for relaxation massages or are you using it for therapeutic treatments?
Great advice especially for somebody going to get their first massage,Spencer that is the best video I have watched on this subject, keep up the good work you are putting out there for your subscribers,
Yes this was a great video! I'm going to review it again!!
Thank you. Years ago my husband gave me a massage groupon and I never went. Last May he gave me a gift certificate for a one hour massage. I have been cringing about it. Now I feel ready to go.
I’m having my first massage at 27 years 😅 old lol on Saturday. Honestly this video made me feel less anxious.
This was exactly what i was looking for thanks! Needed that step by step walk through. Can't wait for my first one
First massage tomorrow. Thanks so much for the tips!!!
My first massage and facial visit was yesterday. It was incredible!
Thanks. You took me through the whole experience. I feel like I just had a massage.
That was an excellent talk to have with future patients absolutely brilliant.
His voice is so calming
I'm needing to book my first ever massage and very nervous, but this is very informative and gives me some calmness
This was very informative. I've never had a massage but it looks so relaxing.
This was absolutely great!! I will be getting my first massage next week
Great health benefits to getting regular massages! It definitely is addicting when you see how great you feel! Don’t be scared, a good therapist will make you feel as comfortable as possible!
I've never been to a massage - this helps ease my worries!

Also I never knew having hand massages would be so good! Unbelievable! Hand and bum massages were surprisingly amazing hahaha!
Your voice is so soothing and your handsome too! Thanks for this video I will be getting my first massage this weekend .
So glad I watched this video before going! Im so excited!
Thank you for the information and for presenting it so well!

disrobe to what ever you are comfortable to during the massage.
Going to get my firts massage soon so this was really helpfull!
I'm getting my first one in a few weeks. How was yours?
Your wonderful Spencer thank you for all you do
It is the best thing you can do for your self. You can get hooked, if feels so good.
Very calming voice.
the 28 dislikes are people under 18 who cant have a massage and frankly, i cant blame them

Dang that suuuucks. I'm sorry that happened.
Hey Spencer! I think I’m ready for my first massage after this video!
I love your voice.
Me too!!!
Great tips brother! I love massages.
Definitely gonna go schedule one now
Is that Boba Fett behind the subscribers?? 🥰
Thank you so much!
Have my first one Thursday.
Thank you for this video!

I had an erection. She didn't even care
Kinda nasty tbh, most people will tell u to calm down, it also can make the person giving the massage very uncomfortable, please think about them.
I am in the process of booking my first ever massage - but so so so scared about it... Sounds stupid I know.. This is helping a lot :)
What is the proper tipping amount for an hour massage? (based on it was what was expected).

My first full body pro. massage is Thursday. Need it for muscle tension. Have mixed feelings
You look so good in green! 💚💚
Very NICE video. Thanks!
100% informative and accurate idol
i wish i get a head massage one day in my life :(
Jesus this dude is jacked.
No, he's a professional who knows his profession.
Puzzoozoo lmao... no he meant the guy is muscular.
I know right. I cant stop looking at his muscles.

I have a question: I have sensitive skin that sometimes burns when products are put on it. Are the oils/creams used at massage parlors designed for sensitive skin? Do I need to talk about this with my therapist before startimg a session?
In Florida draping is not required. I find that most clients do not want to be draped and you can charge more for the session
My first massage was using the seat massagers in my moms car

Hi Spencer, love your Videos, what sort of Oil do you prefer? do you use Cocoa Butter?
Great video
Thank you, that's just what I needed to know :-)
U have helped me so much
I would try different massage therapist some are experienced others just starting I find the best therapist are experience in a variety of massage techniques and have a great ambiance low lights meditative music and essential oils just find one that is best for you.
Helpful. shoud use 2x speed
Hi, guys I am also a massage therapist from philippines.
Philippines for the win !!
i just had my first massage will need to go to a differnt place though as i dont think they did a good job. i was propersisioned for "extras" so it was not a good first time experiance. did have the massage as i did actually want a proper massage due to neck pain but honnestly it was uncomfortable. gonna give it a month and try a proper salon. my problem now i dont know if you should ask them if its a legit massage dont want to sound like a perv but dont want that confusion again as i felt awkward for a good 15 mins during
You and your frozen pictures are so funny. ❤
Where can I get a Biofreeze shirt 😂 I love it!
I think i got my first professional massage when i was 10 and i think ive gotten one atleast once a year, every year since
So funny watching this video and seeing your amount of subscribers now
I can work activated muscles. It far more effective but a bit more intense. I ask people if they like it like that.
What's best for a stiff back ? Ice ? Or heat? Does Ben Gay or Deep Gold really do anything? Or A-535 ? Voltarin?
stretching is the only real thing that helps. Bengey and IceyHot type stuff just mess with the nerves. kinda like how painkillers dont kill the cause of pain but the nerves that feel the pain. not a solution.

Thanks man
Is it fine to a massager if they see your upper body?
massage with metallica
Hell yeah 🤘
Great videos!
Erik Alexander thanks 😀

Yes! If you want to you can, but it’s not weird to tip!
If its ur first time they will use a folding chair start slamming it on u and say "gotta get this knot out" when its ur bone
They used baseball bat on me how lucky
dang I got a butcher knife...😔 you're lucky
i saw this video when this guy achieved 10k subs
Spencer is wow... :/ dang you are fit
As a man who would prefer female therapists, I would prefer this guy if he was in my area

I want a massage but I'm always worried I'll have an urge to pass wind (when lying on my stomach, I feel gaseous). Is this a normal feeling?
Can a person with hearing impaired can go for a massage?
Any way to get a body massage and only get your back done?
The only thing I expect is for you to be there, bro.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm not old enough to get a massage. :(
at 1:15 i was thinking about a happy ending. who else is with me?
Is massage good or bad for people with diabetes?
Comffeyy
🤣🤣🤣
Dont lay on top of the table sorry but pissed myself laughing thinking of someone just being under the table
I hate when people talk.
Do I have to be i pain or acheing to get a massage??
