If you’re looking for a massage therapist, keep these things in mind and don’t hesitate to ask questions when visiting someplace new.

Know What Kind of Massage You Need/Want

  • Swedish Massage

Before you make an appointment, see what types of massages are offered and do some research to see if they offer the massage style you want.

  • Know Your Preferences: A good massage therapist is not looking to induce pain. He/she wants you to be comfortable with all aspects of the massage. Don’t hesitate to let your therapist know if you prefer more or less pressure or if you have specific areas that require attention.
  • Ask About Certifications: Massage therapists should be certified. You can ask where they studied and if they specialize in any specific type of massage. 
  • Ask Friends and Family: The best recommendations always come from friends and family. If you are looking for a massage therapist, start there. They may be able to tell you the name of someone they love and would highly recommend.
