MASSAGE
MASSAGE AND ADD ON SERVICES
Therapeutic massage pinpoints specific tension areas throughout the body. Where there is congestion and stagnant flow of blood and Xi (chi) there is pain. Whether pain is realized by the client or not, when pressed on by an experienced therapist, pain results. Massage reveals these pain areas to the receiver. With alternating deep tissue and effleurage techniques, muscles are able to clear stagnant areas bringing renewed blood and lymph fluid to refresh the tissues. All massage is gauged to the clients’ tolerance level.
At I Love Massage and Skin Care ATX relaxation movements combined with “MAT” Muscle Alignment - developed by Erik Dalton - is the preferred method found to be most effective in assessing and working with clients’ pain sources. Deep pressure and “drilling down” on all areas of the body is not the focus of massage technique here, however, deep and focused work in a few areas can produce correction of movement and free up restrictions in joints, tissue and facia. Freedom of movement, to whatever degree is possible, is the goal of body work here.
MASSAGE PRICING
We strive to keep costs affordable. Where many massage practices require a membership, pricing here is kept at the membership level without clients’ commitment to monthly attendance.
60-70 Minute Massage
(depending on time and need) | Women – $105 Men – $115 Smooth opening movements (effleurage) bring awareness to the client to identify areas of medium or intense distress. Medium to deep pressure, trigger point, and breath coaching is combined with stretching movements. Be assured that stress areas will be addressed with repeated pressure levels; one pass is never enough. Typically, if your focus area requires more attention, other areas less needy will be avoided to keep your time most well spent. |
75 Minute Massage | Women – $120 Men – $130 Extra time in this session permits coverage of a more balanced massage than an hour allows. Do you prefer a scalp massage over extra deep foot work? Be clear on your most preferred focus area since It can be challenging to note these during the session. |
