Concierge Massage Services

Professional Massage Therapy sessions usually range from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. Most of the treatments will incorporate several techniques to customize the massage experience to each individual.

Most people prefer 90-minute massage sessions because the human body operates on 45-minute cycles, and it takes on average 2 cycles for your body to fully relax and get the maximum benefit from the healing session. Every 45 minutes our bodies Qi (chee- energy flow) from the toes to the crown of our head completing a full cycle, and that’s why the minimum of 60-minute massage sessions are required for our body to feel a benefit.

Types of Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue

Usually done for people who can tolerate lots of pressure and have gotten many massages in their lifetime. This one is great for all body types and the most desirable one.

Myofascial release

Our body is made up from connective tissue such as muscles, tendons, and fascia that interconnects and inhouses everything together. Fascia has gotten a lot of attention lately, because previously scientists thought that connective fascia did not play a major role. However, recent research has shown that if our body is in one position for a long time, such as sleeping on one side, or sitting for long periods of time, then facia grows in those areas and becomes less mobile. There are special techniques to loosen the fascia and restore your body elasticity and flexibility.

Trigger Point

If you can breath through the pain, then you will enjoy this type of massage. This technique focuses on those stubborn knots in your neck, shoulders, and back.
