Q: What is a mobile massage?
A mobile massage is a professional massage service where the therapist comes to your location, such as your home, office, or hotel, instead of you travelling to a spa or clinic.
Q: What should I prepare for a mobile massage?
Ensure there’s a clean, quiet space with enough room for a massage table. Provide details like your preferences (e.g., pressure level) when booking. Have a towel or sheet ready if required (though I often bring their own).
Stay hydrated before the session.
Avoid eating a heavy meal right before.
Q: What should I wear during the session?
Wear what you would in a traditional spa setting.
Q: What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Check the cancellation policy of the provider. Some may charge a fee if canceled within 24 hours of the appointment.
Q: What is Deep Tissue Massage?
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that targets the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It uses slow, firm pressure to release chronic muscle tension, knots, and stiffness.
It can be slightly uncomfortable due to the pressure applied, but it shouldn’t be overly painful. Always communicate with your therapist to adjust the pressure to your comfort level.
Mild soreness or stiffness may occur after a session, similar to post-workout soreness. This usually subsides within a day or two. Drinking water and resting can help ease these effects.
For chronic pain: Weekly or bi-weekly sessions may help. For general maintenance: Once a month is often sufficient.
Q: Are there any contraindications for massage?
Avoid or consult a doctor if you have:
Recent injuries or fractures.
Open wounds or skin conditions.
Blood clotting issues or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Certain medical conditions like osteoporosis or cancer (without medical approval).
Pregnancy-related complications.
