Swedish massage uses long gliding strokes and light to medium pressure for relaxation. Deep tissue applies slower strokes with firm pressure reaching the 3 to 5 mm muscle layers. Sports massage focuses on overused muscle groups before or after activity. Prenatal massage uses side-lying positioning and modified pressure for pregnant clients.
Expect freshly laundered sheets for each client, sealed oils, and a sanitised table surface. The therapist should wash hands in front of you and use hypoallergenic products on request. Portable tables must have intact foam padding, no torn vinyl, and stable legs. Tools like hot stones need a dedicated steriliser.
Clients with recent surgery, deep vein thrombosis, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or active cancer should get written approval from a doctor before booking. Pregnancy beyond the first trimester needs a prenatal specialist. Open wounds, severe osteoporosis, and recent fractures also need caution and a modified technique.
Ask about formal certification, years of hands-on practice, and whether the therapist carries professional liability insurance. Confirm the exact duration, the technique offered, and the total cost including travel. Ask how they screen for medical contraindications and what equipment they bring. Written answers protect both sides.
A professional massage service is delivered by a certified therapist with formal training in anatomy and technique. Sessions take place at your home using a portable table, bolsters, and clean linens. The therapist should arrive with oils, sanitiser, and a portable speaker if music is needed. Always ask to see a licence or certificate before booking.
The therapist should bring fresh linens for each client and wash hands before and after the session. Tables need intact vinyl or leather covering without tears. Oils should come in sealed containers and be unscented or lightly scented. A clean face cradle cover is mandatory and replaced for every appointment.
Deep tissue pressure is not recommended within 72 hours of acute injury or muscle strain. Clients on blood thinners should avoid strong pressure due to bruising risk. Recent surgery sites need clearance from the surgeon, usually after stitches are out and swelling is gone. Always share your full medical history with the therapist.
Ask if the therapist holds a current license and where training was completed. Request proof of liability insurance covering on-call or in-home work. Confirm the therapist has experience with your health conditions, such as high blood pressure, recent surgery, or pregnancy. Clarify the cancellation policy, which typically requires 24 hours notice.
A licensed massage therapist should hold a state certification and carry professional liability insurance. Sessions usually last 60 or 90 minutes and take place on a portable table the therapist brings. Confirm the therapist has training in the specific technique you want, such as Swedish, deep tissue, or sports massage, before booking.
For chronic neck or back tension, 1 session every 2 weeks works well for the first 2 months, then monthly. For sports recovery, a session within 48 hours after heavy training helps. General wellness clients often book once a month. Pain relief usually appears after 3 to 4 sessions, not after one.
