Style or techniques used
-Philosophy of care
-Years in practice
-Specialty areas, experience with particular conditions
-Training, advanced certification
-The type of atmosphere and room decor
-Does he use a massage table?
-If there is any doubt or apprehension on your part, it is always appropriate to clarify the style or techniques that the massage therapist uses.
5. Ask about costs and logistics
Ask about the fee. Specifically, ask:
What lengths of sessions are available and what is the fee for each. Typically, therapist will offer you a number of options, generally 30, 45, 60, 75 or 90 minutes. Ask if the rate is for hands-on time or if the intake is included in the time.
-Are there different fees for different techniques?
-Are there any additional fees?
-Do they offer any special or discounted package rates?
-Also ask about logistics:
How far in advance do you generally need to make an appointment?
-What does the scheduled time mean—when you should arrive or when you should be ready to start the massage?
-What is the cancellation policy?
-What is the therapist’s draping policy?
-Finally, to arrive more relaxed, get clear directions and learn about parking options.
