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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tipping between 15 and 20 percent of the session price is standard when service is good. Some therapists include travel time in the bill and pay the same hourly rate. Ask whether payment is by card, cash, or app before the appointment. A written receipt with license number helps for insurance reimbursement if covered.
Common at-home techniques include Swedish for relaxation, deep tissue for muscle knots, sports massage for athletes, and lymphatic drainage for swelling. Prenatal massage is available for pregnant clients, and trigger point work targets specific tight bands. Each method uses different pressure levels and hand positions, so clarify your goal when booking.
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.
