How do I know if I have a good massage therapist?

You can ask your friends and family for their opinions. Ask them if they've ever had a massage from the person you're thinking of, and how it went. If possible, try to get an idea of what kind of experience you'd like to have. Talk to people who have been through the same thing as you, so that you can compare notes and make sure that you're getting a quality service.
