In this blog post, we will discuss some tips on how to look for the right massage therapist for you. The process of choosing a massage therapist doesn’t have to be complicated, keep on reading to find out more.

Determine what you want out of your massage therapy

Firstly, you need to figure out what type of massage therapy you are looking for. Do you want a deep tissue massage, sports massage, Swedish massage or a relaxation massage? Some people prefer to have their massage in the comfort of their own home, whilst other will choose to have a massage at a spa or at the therapist’s clinic. You should also think about the setting in which you would like your massage. If you are looking for a simple relaxing massage, you may prefer a spa-like setting. This usually involves dimmed lights, candles and relaxing music to help set the mood. If you are receiving massage as part of their medical treatment, you may prefer it within a chiropractic or physical therapist office.

Define your goal for the massage

Secondly, you want to ask yourself what you would like to get out of your massage therapy in London. Are you looking for pain relief? Are you looking for stress relief? Or are you simply longing for the relaxation that come from having a long massage? Different types of massages achieve different outcomes, e.g. a deep tissue massage is not the same as a sports massage,  so knowing what you want is an important factor in finding the right massage therapist. Many therapists are trained in specialised techniques. For example, if you have pain from a sports injury, you should look for someone trained in sports massage.

Know the difference between massage therapy modalities
