How to Choose a Massage Therapist

Picking the right therapist feels like dating – you want chemistry, trust, and the right skills. Whether you need a relaxing Swedish touch, a deep‑tissue fix for sore muscles, or something more intimate like tantric massage, the process is the same: know what you want, do a quick background check, and trust your gut during the first session.

Check Credentials and Experience

Start with the basics. Look for a license or certification that matches the type of massage you’re after. In Prague, most legit parlors list their therapist’s training school, years of practice, and any specializations (prenatal, sports, or deep‑penis massage). If you’re eyeing a therapist who offers erotic or tantric services, make sure they mention consent procedures and safety protocols.

Read reviews on sites like Massage‑Setsuko. Real clients usually talk about punctuality, hygiene, and how the therapist handled boundaries. A therapist with a solid track record on a few key points – clean space, respectful communication, and consistent technique – is worth a closer look.

Test Comfort and Communication

Before you book a full hour, see if the therapist offers a short 15‑minute consultation or a “first‑touch” session. This gives you a chance to ask about pressure levels, preferred oils, and any medical concerns (like pregnancy or past injuries). A good therapist will listen, suggest adjustments, and respect your limits without making you feel judged.

Ask practical questions: How do they handle cancellations? What’s the price for a standard session versus a specialized one? Do they provide a clean towel and fresh linens every time? Clear answers show professionalism and reduce the risk of surprises later.

Location and vibe matter too. A studio near public transport is convenient, but ensure the space feels private and safe. If you’re looking for a more sensual experience, check whether the environment is discreet and if the therapist uses body‑safe tools (like silicone‑coated tantric wands) and quality oils.

Finally, trust your intuition. After a brief meeting or phone call, do you feel relaxed or uneasy? Your comfort level will set the tone for the whole session. If something feels off, keep looking – the right match is out there.

In short, define your goal, verify credentials, read real feedback, test communication, and trust your gut. Follow these steps and you’ll find a therapist who not only meets your needs but also makes every visit something to look forward to.
