What massage therapy actually involves, and how people use it.
Practitioners offer many styles, from gentle relaxation and aromatherapy massage to deeper approaches like deep tissue and sports massage. If you are not sure what suits you, most therapists are happy to talk it through when you get in touch.
After a short chat about your needs and any areas to focus on or avoid, you are given privacy to get comfortable on the couch. The therapist checks the pressure with you as they work. Sessions usually run 30 to 90 minutes.
Fees vary by location, style and session length. Many massage therapists on Welvow list their pricing on their profile, so you can see what to expect.
Look for a recognised qualification and registration with a body such as the CNHC or the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). Every massage therapist on Welvow is independently reviewed, with their training on their profile.
