✨ How to Choose the Right Massage Therapist ✨
Not all massages and not all therapists are the same. Here’s your quick guide to finding the right fit for your body and your goals.
🧭 Start with your needs
Relaxation, deep tension release, stress and anxiety relief, injury rehab, sports recovery, or general wellness.
Knowing what you want helps you choose the right therapist.
🎓 Training and Credentials
Look for a therapist who is part of a recognized association, insured, and trained in the techniques they offer. Cupping, deep tissue, kinesiotherapy, hot stone… these all require proper training.
🏋️ Experience Matters
Chronic pain, athletic work, or specific conditions require someone who handles these regularly. A good therapist assesses, asks questions, and adapts.
🗣 Communication is Key
You should feel heard, respected, and comfortable. Your therapist should check in about pressure and explain what they’re doing.
💚 GREEN FLAGS
✔ Intake form and health history
✔ Asks about medications, injuries, contraindications
✔ Adjusts pressure easily
✔ Gives aftercare
✔ Clean, safe, professional space
✔ Proper draping and boundaries
✔ You feel respected and supported
🚫 RED FLAGS
✘ No questions before starting
✘ Ignores your goals
✘ Same routine on everyone
✘ Pushes unnecessary add ons
✘ Goes too deep and won’t adjust
✘ Poor draping
✘ Diagnoses things they’re not allowed to
✘ Space feels unprofessional or unhygienic
🤍 Trust your gut
You should leave feeling better, calmer, and supported. The right therapist matches your goals, your comfort, and your energy.
