You've decided to get a Swedish massage, but aren't sure how to find a licensed massage therapist who can do the best job for the money. Just follow the steps below to find out where and how to get a Swedish massage.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide which type of Swedish massage therapy that you want. If you're new to massage therapy, seek out a lighter form. If you're an athlete, a sports massage will enhance your performance. If time is a factor, a short chair massage may be just what you're looking for.

  2. Step 2

    Use the Internet or your local phone directory to locate Swedish Massage therapists. Call or investigate several. Ask questions about the type of massage given, the cost, the qualifications of the masseuse and any medical problems you may have.

  3. Step 3

    Be aware that most massage therapists doing private sessions ask that you disrobe for your massage. However, you will be fully covered by a sheet at all times, with only the part of your body receiving the massage exposed. If you aren't comfortable with this, tell the massage therapist and ask for options before your appointment.

  4. Step 4

    Schedule an appointment. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and prepare for your massage.

  5. Step 5

    Enjoy the luxury of the massage.

Tips & Warnings
  • Frequently, a masseuse provides conversation to relax you. If you want a massage without conversation, mention to the Swedish massage therapist that you would prefer no conversation during the session.
