Want a massage that actually helps? Start by picking a style that matches your goal: deep tissue or sports for sore muscles, Swedish for relaxation, acupressure for headaches, or Lomi Lomi for emotional easing. Check practitioner credentials, read recent reviews, and ask about session length and pressure before booking.
Look for clear pricing, clean space, and therapists who listen. Ask if they offer targeted treatments like trigger point, Feldenkrais, or palliative massage. Bring a note about injuries and medications so the therapist adjusts the session safely.
Show up hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and arrive early to relax. After the massage, move slowly and drink water. Track what worked—pressure, techniques, and therapist—and use that info for your next appointment. Explore our guides and honest reviews if you want specific parlor recommendations or technique breakdowns.
