What do you usually look for before trusting a massage or therapy service?
I think trust is one of the biggest factors when choosing any massage or therapy service. Things like clear information, proper treatment focus, and real client experiences matter much more than just price. A massage is only effective when you feel comfortable and confident with the therapist.
From my experience in London, sports massage and therapy services that focus on muscle recovery and pain relief tend to be more structured and professional. I’ve personally had good results with SM Sports (http://www.marquestherapy.com/
), especially for deep tissue massage and sports-related muscle tension. The personalised approach really makes a difference.
It’s interesting to see how both clinic-based and home-visit massage services worldwide are moving toward higher standards and better client care.
