Default Going to see an osteopath/massage therapist - any tips?

I have an upcoming appointment with a massage therapist (12 years' experience) who is also a recent graduate of osteopathic college (an additional 5 years' training). He works at a local sports physio clinic that was recommended to me. There is a more experienced osteopath I would like to see, but she's about an hour's drive away (her colleague suggested the local physic clinic as an alternative). So for now I'm going with the local guy.

Essentially, what I'm hoping for is an assessment and/or gentle treatment of my neck/shoulders/spine area. I'm not having any major issues - at least, that I'm aware of or that my neuro has diagnosed - but the relative inactivity over the last year, possibly coupled with the nature of my injury (very solid blow to the top of my head), has resulted in some mild stiffness in that region.

Any suggestions as to how I might make the most of this appointment, and avoid overdoing it?
