A massage involves the person lying on a massage table, sitting upright in a massage chair, or lying on a pad on the floor. Except for Acupressure, Shiatsu, Tui Na, Thai Massage, or Barefoot Deep Tissue, the person is generally unclothed or partially unclothed, and their body is draped with towels or sheets. This will help keep the person warm which helps in the relaxation response.
