Mobile massage therapists work various hours. If it is not clear on their business details or their website, check that they work the hours when you require a massage. For example, because I run this website, I only massage on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9.30am – 6pm so I would not be the therapist for you if you wanted a massage at the weekend or evening.

Every mobile massage therapist differs in the way that they work. Some will bring towels/sheets etc and you won’t need to supply anything, others do not bring anything except the massage couch and oil. Other’s will give you the choice.

If you think you may be limited in space check how much space you need when you book. Mobile massage therapists have varying size couches and some are bigger than others. Personally I carry a larger than normal couch that is 6ft 3″ and I need to be able to get around the whole couch when I give a full body massage so I do need enough room to be able to do that.

Some massage therapists will take card payments others do not. Some will take bank transfers, cash or cheques. It is best to check before your appointment so you are prepared and not concerned about it and it ruining your lovely treatment.

Don’t forget to clarify the price. Prices may vary from their business listing details or their website due to travel fees, or discounts that may apply to you. It is always best to avoid that awkward moment when you need to pay and you are not sure how much it is.

Things happen and plans change. You don’t want to be left for a request for full payment of the treatment you haven’t had because you had to cancel and maybe left it too late to let your therapist know.

Some therapists use online forms only others will bring them when they come and visit you. If you prefer to have an online form sent to you then do ask, most will be able to accommodate you with this request.

My treatment times quoted are for the hands on treatment, so I will be at your house longer than the time quoted. This catches some clients out sometimes so I try and clarify this when they book. If I book a client for an hour’s massage, I am usually at their house for an hour and a half. This is good to know when you are fitting in your massage before the school run or other commitments.

This is not a question for everyone, but it does effect a fairly high number of my client enquiries. If you have a medical condition that you are concerned about, or recent surgery, or anything that you may think might effect your ability to have a massage, please make your therapist aware. They may need you to check that they with your doctor that it is safe for you to have a massage.
