ADVICE Before you go

Here are things to know when seeking a massage provider.
Every massage therapist should be associated with a state or national professional organization.
Licensed massage therapists are required to take 24 hours of continuing education every two years.
The spa or massage therapy center should have a philosophy that combines healing and knowledge.
Your treatment should be customized. Your body is always changing, and your treatment should be tailored to your body's needs at the time of your appointment. Before starting, your therapist should ask if anything in particular is bothering you.
You should get individual attention and service, and not feel like part of an assembly line.
