Is there anything I should avoid before coming in for my massage?

Pain killers and blood thinning medication is something that a massage therapist should be aware of so that the therapist can modify or exclude the techniques they are going to use in your treatment based on your medical history.  Pain killers too close to your session can alter your perception of how much pain you can tolerate, thus risking injury and bruising.  Alcohol is also something you should avoid prior to your session because massage does increase circulation and may cause intoxication.
