8 Frustrations when receiving a massage and how to solve them

When we seek a massage, we expect a relaxing and restorative experience. However, some people may feel frustrated if the service does not meet their expectations. Here are the main frustrations when receiving a massage and how Body and Soul, with our personalised home service in Estepona and Marbella, can solve them.

1. Failure to find relief from chronic pain

Many clients seek massages to relieve chronic pain in the back, neck or legs. However, some massages fail to reduce this discomfort, which can lead to frustration.

At Body and Soul, we have professional massage therapists who tailor each session to the client’s needs. We carry out a pre-consultation to identify areas of pain and apply specific techniques for each problem. The massage is personalised, which ensures effective results from the first session.

2. Feeling worse after the massage

Some people feel more pain or discomfort after a massage. This may be due to improper technique or too much pressure during the session. When performing certain massage techniques, a certain level of pain is to be expected, but this is something we discuss before we begin.

Our therapists at Body and Soul are experts at adapting the intensity of the massage according to your body’s response. If at any time you feel discomfort, we adjust the technique to ensure you enjoy immediate relief with no side effects.

3. Therapist not listening to your needs

Nothing is more frustrating than asking a therapist to focus on a specific area and not doing so. This creates an unsatisfying experience. You are all the time thinking about when they are going to get to the area where you really feel discomfort or need relief.

At Body and Soul, the therapist conducts an initial consultation to listen to your needs and goals. We pay attention to every detail so that the massage is exactly what you are looking for.

4. Paying too much for an ineffective massage

Paying for a massage and not feeling the expected results is one of the most common frustrations among clients. Our prices include the displacement of our professionals to your home and personalised attention. In other words, we do not have a busy schedule, we take our time so that the client can enjoy and obtain the desired results.

Honesty is part of our service. We do a pre-assessment to let you know what results you can expect. If what you need is a specific massage, we recommend the most appropriate technique, always guaranteeing transparency and visible results.

Our home massage services can offer immediate results, especially with techniques such as lymphatic drainage or chiromassage. We adapt the duration and intensity of the treatment to your needs to ensure that the money invested translates into real wellbeing.

5. Not having time to travel to the massage centre

Finding time to go to a spa or massage centre in Estepona can be tricky, especially if you have a busy schedule or if distance is an issue. Areas such as San Pedro de Alcántara, Puerto Banús or Nueva Andalucía tend to be very busy.

With our home massage service in Estepona, Marbella and Sotogrande, we bring relaxation to your home. You won’t have to travel or worry about schedules. We offer you maximum comfort.

6. Have an uncomfortable or painful experience

A massage that is too strong or poorly executed can leave you with more pain than relief. No one should have to go through this. Sometimes the therapist applies pressure that doesn’t match what you need. This can make the massage ineffective or painful.

At Body and Soul, as mentioned above, we can adjust the massage to your tolerance level and preferences. We ensure that each technique is applied with the right pressure so that you enjoy a comforting, pain-free experience.

7. Not receiving the promised session duration

If you have booked an hour’s massage and only receive 40 minutes, you will be disappointed and rightly so. Some centres, due to busy schedules or inexperienced staff, decide to cut the time. Naturally, the client notices and is rightly upset.

At Body and Soul, we are committed to respecting the duration of each session. Moreover, as we are at your home, you will not have any unnecessary interruptions. The time set aside will be devoted entirely to your well-being, without distractions or interruptions.

8. Not being able to relax completely during the session

Sometimes, discomfort or distractions in a spa or massage centre can prevent you from fully relaxing, affecting your experience. There are facilities where a mere curtain acts as a separation, completely minimising privacy.

Our in-home service creates a totally personalised and tranquil environment. Being in your own home, surrounded by your usual environment, guarantees complete relaxation. We take care of creating an atmosphere of calm so that you can enjoy every moment to the full.
