Get answers to common questions about Therapeutic Massage - 90 Mins.

You’ll begin with a brief intake to review history and goals. The 90-minute session includes assessment and multiple modalities, focused work on problem areas, draping for privacy, and post-treatment stretching or self-care recommendations. Communicate pressure preferences anytime.

Arrive hydrated, wear comfortable clothing, and avoid a heavy meal right before your appointment. Fill out medical forms ahead if possible, and bring notes about pain or prior injuries so your therapist can tailor the 90-minute session.

Certain conditions—fever, contagious illness, recent surgery, deep vein thrombosis, or uncontrolled hypertension—may contraindicate massage. Inform us of medications and health history during intake so therapists can modify techniques or refer you to medical care when necessary.

Pressure ranges from light to firm based on your comfort and therapy goals. Therapists check in regularly and can adjust intensity, targeting deep tissue work when appropriate or using gentler strokes for relaxation and circulation.

Many clients feel immediate relaxation and reduced stiffness after one session, but lasting pain relief often requires a short series of treatments. We’ll create a plan based on your response, lifestyle, and underlying conditions to maximize benefits.

Frequency depends on needs—acute issues may need weekly sessions, chronic maintenance often benefits from biweekly or monthly visits. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on progress, goals, and recovery to optimize results from 90-minute treatments.
