First and foremost, a working knowledge of structural anatomy. Kinesiology knowledge helps, too. A good massage therapist incorporates stretching into their routine. They also should never break contact with the client until the session is over. Follow kneading with stroking in the direction of venous flow. Know contradictions and be able to explain them to the client.
Also, a scalp massage does not use the fingernails and is not a hair massage.
From there, it's the little things: heated fleece pad, a non-squeaky table, soft linens, a room large enough that the therapist does not bump into the walls when working, everything should be unscented unless the client asks for a scented lotion/oil/candle. Know what is in the products you use and take measures to avoid allergic reactions (I use all nut-free, paraben-free lotions). Don't keep the room too warm or cold. Be aware of your own breath (smell, make sure it isn't audible or felt by the client).
Be able to make recommendations for aftercare. Explain why a client may feel sore the day after deep tissue work and what they can do to minimize this.
Understand that "neck pain" may be a shoulder issue and remember that the shoulder includes the entire pectoral girdle. A numbness in the arm may stem from a nerve impingement in the neck.
