What to expect when you come for a massage
I work from a professional studio and I also travel to clients homes.If it is your first massage with me, you will need to fill in a few forms. I will also need to know what areas of your body need to be massaged, and what you hope to achieve by coming for a massage treatment. This will give me a better idea of how to proceed with your treatment and design a treatment plan that suits your needs.

Indications for therapeutic massage therapy (health conditions that benefit from massage):
The general rule of thumb for assessing if massage is safe or not is this: if it's safe and you are able to have sex, then it's safe to have a massage (not that sex is part of a massage, it's a test to asses if you're healthy enough). If you have an infection, particularly if you have swollen glands (lymph node), then the answer is "no", and you should see the doctor.Read more here: Indications for massage

However, the research is growingRead more here: Research into the effectiveness of massage therapy
