Frequently Asked Questions

 Look for a licensed and certified therapist with experience in the type of massage you need, whether it’s deep tissue, Swedish, or sports massage. Check client reviews, ask about their techniques and specialties, and ensure their approach matches your pain relief or relaxation goals. If possible, book a consultation or trial session before committing to a long-term plan.

This depends on your health, stress levels, and physical condition. For general relaxation, a monthly session is recommended. If you have chronic pain, injuries, or high stress, weekly or bi-weekly massages may be more beneficial. Your massage therapist can help figure out the best frequency for your needs.

 Yes! Massage therapy improves circulation, relaxes muscles, and reduces inflammation, making it an effective treatment for back pain, arthritis, migraines, and muscle tension. Regular sessions can help manage pain long-term, but for severe conditions, consult your doctor or physical therapist for the best approach.

Before your massage, stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and wear comfortable clothing. Afterward, drink plenty of water, relax, and avoid physically intense activities to allow your body to fully absorb the benefits. If you experience soreness, a warm bath or light stretching can help.

 Absolutely! A good therapist will adjust the pressure based on your comfort. If you prefer light, medium, or deep pressure, communicate this before and during the session to ensure the best experience. You should never feel pain or discomfort during a massage.
