Why is a 60 minute massage only 50 minutes?
Clients lose a total of one full treatment every six sessions (10 minutes times 6 sessions is an hour)! Therapists don’t get enough time to keep up/recharge and are pressured to try to fit a full massage into 50 minutes, which is hard enough to do even in 60 minutes. In a 60-minute massage, your therapist often has to choose between focusing deeply on one area or giving your body a general reset. With 90 minutes, there’s no rush—we can take time to work through areas of tension and still give you a full-body flow that encourages deep, lasting relaxation.So if you really want specific work AND full body relaxation, it may be worth considering a 90-min session. General relaxation can be achieved in a 60-min session, but if you just want general relaxation in half of the body (front/back or upper/lower) then a 45-min appointment can also work.
