Offer small complaints immediately

If the pressure is strong, it is recommended to deliver requests such as "Turn it down a little" and "Please make it unscented or light if the smell is unpleasant."

Allowing time for reservations

If you leave room before and after reservation, you can reduce stress by providing ample travel time or preparation time.

Don't expect too much

Massage alone may not completely eliminate fatigue, and constant management or lifestyle improvement must be combined to continue the effect.
