Questions to ask a massage therapist
Practical questions that help you check whether a massage treatment and practitioner are the right fit.
Useful questions
You do not need a long interrogation. A few clear questions before you book can prevent a mismatch.
- Is this treatment appropriate for what I need?
- What pressure or techniques do you normally use?
- How long is the appointment and what is included?
- What should I wear or bring?
- Are there reasons I should postpone treatment?
- What is your cancellation policy?

What to expect at your first massage
From arrival and a short consultation through to aftercare — what a first massage appointment usually involves.
Sports massage or deep-tissue massage?
The names overlap. Use the practice’s own description of pressure, focus and who the treatment is for.
