Answer
Ask a friend. If you have a friend who sees a masseuse don't be shy and ask them for a reference.
Speak with the massage therapist to making an appointment. A good massage therapist will be willing to discuss your expectations and what style of massage will work best to relieve your symptoms.
Inquire about their fees. Typically a massage will last one hour but it is a good idea to ask how long the massage will last and whether they allow extra time at the end of your session for rebooking and discussion, if necessary.
Inquire about their facilities -- you may prefer to be seen an office setting rather than in the home of the massage therapist.
Credentials are important -- making sure the masseuse is licensed! Ask about how long they've been practicing, where they were schooled, how many hours of training did they complete and if they've had any advanced training in specific massage techniques.
