Massage Parlor Guide — David's Massages

Want a massage that actually helps? David's Massages gives clear, practical guides to styles, benefits, and how to find reputable parlors. We cover Swedish, deep tissue, cupping, gua sha, Lomi Lomi, Rolfing, and unusual therapies so you know what to expect before you book.

Each article explains who benefits, session length, typical cost, and safety notes. Read our short overviews for quick choices or the full posts when you want details. We also list red flags—like no licensing, hidden fees, or pressuring tactics—so you avoid bad experiences.

How to choose a massage

Think about your goal: relax, reduce pain, or improve mobility. Match the goal to the style: Swedish for relaxation, myofascial or Rolfing for posture, cupping or cross-fibre for tight muscles. Check reviews, ask about therapist credentials, and confirm any medical limits before you go.

Before your visit

Arrive hydrated, wear loose clothes, and speak up about pressure or pain during the session. Book shorter sessions first to test a therapist. If you have health issues, get clearance from a doctor. Use our posts to compare techniques and find a parlor that fits your needs.

Start with one style and adjust based on results.
