Consider keeping your clothing off
Skin-to-skin contact is more effective than massaging through clothing. However, if you’re using a foam roller, or lack privacy at home, you can put on some light clothes.
Apply massage oil to your body
Massaging oil will help heat up your body and will help make your massage be more effective. Any massaging oil, lotion, or sports balm will help break down knots and loosen your muscles.
To apply the oil, just place a drop of the oil in the palm of one hand and rub your hands together for at least fifteen seconds, until you’ve heated up the oil.
