Red flags include the therapist avoiding a health intake, no hand washing before contact, or excessive pressure causing sharp pain. Watch for slipping on the table, oils left on the floor, and refusal to adjust position. A trained therapist welcomes questions and explains each stroke before applying it.
A qualified therapist checks in about pressure within the first 5 minutes and adjusts to your tolerance. Bruising lasting more than 24 hours signals excessive pressure. Pain that worsens after the session rather than easing is a red flag. Leaving the table feeling dizzy, nauseous, or unusually cold suggests the session was too intense.
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.
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.
Price varies with session length, technique difficulty, and therapist experience. Deep tissue and sports massage usually cost more than Swedish. Late evening slots, weekends, and travel distance beyond 15 kilometres often add a surcharge. Couples sessions booked at the same address may receive a small discount per person.
Price varies with session length, therapist experience, and technique. Add-ons like hot stones, aromatherapy oils, or cupping add to the base rate. Travel fees of 10 to 25 dollars often apply beyond a 15 kilometer radius. Evening or weekend appointments can carry a 15 to 20 percent surcharge over weekday rates.
A typical home session lasts 50 to 90 minutes, with 60 minutes being the most common. Shorter 30-minute sessions focus on one body area, while 90-minute sessions cover full body plus extra stretching. First appointments often run 15 minutes longer due to the intake interview and posture assessment.
A 60 minute session includes roughly 50 minutes of hands-on work and 10 minutes for consultation and dressing time. A 90 minute session allows 80 minutes of massage and covers a larger body area or deeper work. Allow an extra 15 minutes at the end for a slow transition before standing or driving.
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.
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.
