How do you keep your feet/ hands warms during a massage?

[+ 7829V]

I’m hoping someone here has tips for this. This time of the year, during massages, my feet and hands get really cold, not that I feel cold, but they’re cold to the touch. It gets uncomfortable, especially in winter, and I always worry it might be uncomfortable for the masseur as well during MT. 

I bought a heated mat for my feet, which helps a bit, but I’m still struggling with my hands. One masseur once put warm stones on my hands and that worked, but not everyone offers that. Also the mat for my feet helps when the masseur comes to me. Some masseurs have heated tables and that helps as well.

Has anyone figured out how to keep their hands and feet warm during a session? Any tricks, products, or routines that help?

Socks and gloves?  I sometimes lie on my hands during a massage to keep them warm until an opportunity to play with the masseur comes up.  My feet don’t get cold so I can’t help you there.  I had an experience with one of my favorite masseurs a few months ago and his studio was so cold, we both were shivering.  While we waited for the room to warm, he took off his clothes and lay on top of me.  Can’t beat that.

I always had a Massage table heater from Earthlite.  It would get so warm that if I didn't' have my apartment heat on, because I hate heat, clients lying on it uncovered were always war (they also had help from me :-)  )  

Beware of blankets because, like hotels, while masseurs likely wash sheets b/w clients, blankets probably not.

So, see that he has a working table heater (the most expensive ones break often, they are made for shit) OR wear socks.  Your hands can stay warm b/w the Masseurs legs :-)

Lucky for me... that my massage room its not large

I use a Heated Pad on the table..

Plus I heat up the Massage Gel to 80 Degree

The room is Heated up to 78 Degree ... I always keep the door closed to keep the heat in...

I have a heated table. I also cover the client with a warm towel at the start (it doesn’t stay on but it’s good at the start). I warm the oil too. If the client wants to keep their socks on that’s fine too, you can still do a decent foot massage through socks. I think it’s important for the room to be warm because we’ll both be naked. 
There’s some medical conditions that cause cold hand / feet (e.g. Reynaud’s) so get it checked out.
