I am going to answer this as a professional, licensed massage therapist, in hopes that your question is about massage therapy. It should not be a problem for you at all if you are going to a professional, licensed massage therapist. We are use to all sorts of body types and we know how to adjust techniques, pressure, the amount of oil, etc. for each situation. In the event you have a therapist that is "pulling" the hair or whatever so that it is uncomfortable, tell them so they can make adjustments. That goes for anything else, too. If the room is too hot, cold, you hate the music or it's too loud, the pressure is too much, whatever. Just keep the communication line open with your therapist because we can't read your mind, and we can't feel what you are feeling! (Also, a good therapist will tell you this, too!). Now, go out and get a massage because it's one of the best things you can do for yourself!!!!! ; )

Oh hon....who cares about hairy? Get a massage! They are amazing!!!!! I can understand being self concious, so if it really bothers you that much, get a wax before going, but don't pass up a massage. You'll be glad you went. :)

why should being hairy stand in the way of having a massage?

wax job? Ouch! Massages are wonderful. Seriously, don't let your hairy body get in the way. You'll feel so good you won't even notice.

Right now a shoulder massage would work fine.

Nair or shaving will only temporarily take the hair away. Normally a massage therapist doesn't care too much, so go anyway and enjoy it!

You're probably embarrassed about it. Don't be, if you want a massage go get one. They deal with hairier people than you all the time I'm sure.

Wax it off.. or use nair the day before you have one scheduled.. or.. if you want the hair to stay then just go anyways.. they've probably seen much worse..

If you're closed to the waxing idea, keep your shirt on.
