You'll lie on a padded massage table covered by a sheet or towel, and your therapist will work through each area of the body in turn: typically starting with the back.

Most clients undress to their comfort level; your modesty is maintained with draping at all times.

A full body massage is a therapeutic treatment covering the entire body: typically the back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs and feet.
