What matters most
- Choose full-body massage for wider coverage and a focused service for a specific area.
- Deep tissue describes an approach, not a promise that treatment should be painful.
- Health conditions, injuries and recent procedures must be disclosed before massage.
Full-body massage
A sixty-minute full-body massage distributes time across several agreed areas. It is suitable when the overall experience and broader coverage matter more than spending most of the appointment on one particular concern.
The consultation determines the areas included, pressure preference and any areas to avoid. Full body does not remove the need to agree boundaries before treatment begins.
Deep tissue and focused appointments
Deep-tissue massage uses slower, more focused work and adjusted pressure, but it should remain communicative and tolerable. More discomfort is not evidence of a better treatment. A back, neck and shoulder, back-only, foot-and-leg or Indian head appointment directs the available time to a smaller scope.
- Choose thirty minutes when one focused area is the goal.
- Choose sixty minutes when broader work or more time on several areas is needed.
- Describe pressure preference and goals rather than booking by the strongest-sounding name.
When to ask before booking
Tell us about pregnancy, a recent operation or injury, unexplained pain, fever, skin infection, blood-clot concerns, significant bruising or a condition for which a clinician has advised restrictions. We may ask you to obtain healthcare advice or postpone treatment.
Massage is a wellbeing service and is not a diagnosis or substitute for medical assessment. New, severe or unexplained symptoms should be assessed appropriately rather than treated as routine muscle tension.
Common questions
Before you book
Should deep-tissue massage hurt?
No. Stronger pressure should still be agreed and tolerable. Tell the practitioner immediately when pressure feels wrong, sharp or causes concern.
Is thirty minutes enough for a full-body massage?
Our full-body services are sixty minutes. Thirty-minute appointments focus on named areas such as the back, feet and legs, or head.
Can massage treat an injury?
Do not use a salon massage to diagnose or treat an injury. Obtain appropriate healthcare assessment and disclose any advice or restrictions before booking.
