They don\u2019t ponder your leg hair or stretch marks. They\u2019re there to provide a great i<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeel.com\/massage-on-demand\">n home massage<\/a>.\u201d Carey further noted that getting a massage at home might be more relaxing for nervous massage recipients, as a home massage would take place in the comfort and privacy of their own environment.<\/p>\n<p>Sighs and other noises are common during massage, continues Carey. \u201cThere\u2019s no need to be silent during a massage, though don\u2019t feel obligated to make noise!\u201d Or choose some cool massage music.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, says Carey, \u201cSpeak up if the pressure if wrong! Your Zeel Massage Therapist can adjust, making sure you get the customized massage from Zeel that you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To summarize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t worry about what you look like\u00a0\u2013 your Zeel Massage Therapist doesn\u2019t care<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t get your wellness advice from The Onion<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t worry about the occasional groan or sigh<\/li>\n<li>Tell your Zeel Massage Therapist if the pressure isn\u2019t quite perfect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t be nervous during an in home massage.
