A session consists of a warm-up, treatment, and time to communicate with the therapist to make your treatment truly customized. Each time you visit, you will go through our path of service called The Fluid Way®. This is done to ensure each session you receive from us meets or exceeds your expectations.

A typical massage session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the type of massage and your preferences. Your massage therapist will use various techniques to manipulate your muscles and promote relaxation and healing.

A therapeutic massage is a type of massage that is designed to help alleviate pain and promote healing in the body. It often involves deeper pressure and more focused manipulation of the muscles and connective tissue. Other types of massages, such as Swedish or hot stone massages, are designed more for relaxation and stress relief.

Massage therapy can help reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and calming the nervous system. Regular massages can also help improve mood and promote overall feelings of well-being.

Many clients are unsure how much they should tip their therapist. We recommend you think of your therapist as you would a waiter in a restaurant. Our studios' therapists love what they do, and your tip may reflect your appreciation for their service. We recommend tipping percentages based on the full price of a regular treatment, rather than the discounted price.

Massage therapy can help with a variety of issues, including reducing stress, relieving pain, improving circulation, and promoting overall relaxation. The frequency of massage appointments depends on your individual needs and preferences, but many people find that scheduling a massage once a month or every few weeks can help them maintain the benefits of therapy.

Some medical conditions may make massage therapy unsafe or require modifications to the massage technique. It's important to speak with your doctor and massage therapist before starting therapy if you have any medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or cancer. Your massage therapist can also adjust the massage technique based on your individual needs and preferences.

After your treatment that same day, there are some easy, pleasant things you can do to help prevent some of the next-day soreness:

Be purposeful about your water intake, both before and after your appointment. As mentioned above, hydrated muscles are more flexible. Also, there are some strongly held beliefs that drinking water after treatment can help to flush away the toxins released. Staying hydrated is a good idea, and before or after a session is no different.

Do some gentle stretching that evening, paying special attention to the trouble spots that received the most attention during your treatment.

Take a warm bath, ideally with Epsom salts (1/2 cup to 1 cup for adults), and soak for 20-40 minutes. Epsom salts are an inexpensive and effective way to help your body rid itself of toxins and reduce muscle inflammation. You also get the bonus of absorbing the beneficial magnesium found in Epsom salts through your skin.

As your body becomes accustomed to regular treatments, you'll experience the next-day soreness less frequently, making the experience that much more pleasurable.
