Draping Techniques

Neck

To ensure your comfort, privacy, and dignity, professional draping techniques will be used throughout the massage. You will remain covered with a sheet or towel at all times, with only the area being treated exposed. These techniques are listed below.

During any face-up massage, you’ll have the option of a small towel being placed over your eyes to enhance relaxation and create a more comfortable environment. This can help minimise sensory distractions and promote a calming experience, especially when the therapist is working near more sensitive areas.

Your therapist will always seek your permission before adjusting the draping and will prioritise your comfort throughout the session. If you have any concerns or specific preferences regarding draping, please feel free to discuss them before or during your appointment.
