How to Spot a REAL Pro Massage Therapist (Before They Touch You)
Ever walked into a place in pain… and the therapist’s only plan is: “Just lay down.” 😅
That’s exactly how people get the wrong treatment—and sometimes feel worse after.
In this video, we break down how to identify a truly professional massage/manual therapist (and how to spot the “big ego” therapist who skips the basics).
✅ What a qualified therapist should do first:

  • Ask questions about your pain history (when it started, what makes it worse/better)
  • Learn your injury history, lifestyle, stress, and work posture
  • Perform a quick assessment (movement, posture, range of motion)
  • Explain a treatment plan (what they’ll do and why)
  • Reassess after treatment and build a long-term strategy—not a random session

🚩 Red flag: If someone immediately puts you on the table with zero questions and starts “treating”… that’s suspicious. A real pro doesn’t guess—because guessing can aggravate the problem.
If you want results, you need more than a massage—you need a therapist who thinks, assesses, and follows a process.
