Can I do full body massage during my period?
Yes, getting a massage during your period is generally safe and can even provide relief from menstrual cramps. However, it is important to communicate with your massage therapist prior to your massage session to ensure that they are aware of your condition and can take the necessary precautions. The answer is yes, absolutely. You can go on a spa day or break on your period, and you can have spa treatments on your period.
