A good massage therapist starts by asking about your health, injuries and what you want from the session, whether that is relaxation, relief from tight muscles or help with a particular problem. Expect to be draped with a towel or sheet so only the area being worked on is uncovered, and speak up if the pressure is too firm or too light, since feedback is part of the treatment. Tell the therapist about medication, pregnancy, recent surgery or any condition you are being treated for, and see a doctor first for new or severe pain. Regulars drink water afterwards, take it gently for the rest of the day and book at regular intervals.
