Skip or postpone with fever, contagious illness, acute injury (first 48-72 hours), deep vein thrombosis or clot risk, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and some cancer treatments — ask your doctor. Pregnancy massage is fine after the first trimester with a therapist trained in prenatal work. Always disclose conditions on the intake form.

A standard 60-minute session at an independent therapist or clinic typically costs about one to two hours of skilled-trade labour in your country. Mobile (at-home) massage adds 20-50% for travel and setup. Hotel spas charge 2-3x independent rates for the same treatment time.

Roughly 2x the single rate, sometimes with a small bundle discount at spas. For mobile couples massage, two therapists work simultaneously, so expect 2x the mobile rate plus one travel fee rather than two. Back-to-back sessions with one therapist are cheaper but double the total time.

If you value the zero-commute, post-massage-straight-to-couch experience, yes. The therapist brings a table, linens and oils; you need a clear 3x2m space. It typically costs 20-50% more than clinic rates. For deep clinical work, a clinic with a hydraulic table may still be better.

A 60-minute session runs ₱400-₱800 at neighbourhood spas, ₱800-₱1,500 at mid-tier and mall spas, and ₱1,500-₱3,000 at hotel spas. Home service runs ₱500-₱1,200 plus a ₱100-₱300 transport fee in Metro Manila. Tip ₱50-₱150 for good service.

Yes — uncommonly for Southeast Asia, the DOH administers a licensure exam for massage therapists, and reputable spas employ licensed staff and display sanitation permits.
