Balancing Body Bliss (80 Minutes $200 / 110 Minutes $275 / 80 Minutes Per Pair $350)

One of our most beloved treatments, this luxurious combination begins with aromatic hot towel application and essential oil preparation. A mineral-rich body scrub is then applied in rhythmic buffing motions, exfoliating dead cells and revealing impossibly soft skin beneath. After a gentle warm rinse, a therapeutic massage works out tension from every muscle. This comprehensive experience addresses both skin renewal and deep muscular release, leaving you completely renewed inside and out.

Scalp Massage (Add-On Only, $30)

Concentrated massage that releases tension held in the scalp, temples, and base of skull. Stimulates healthy circulation while inducing profound relaxation that radiates throughout your entire body.

Massage Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare before arriving for a massage?

Arrive approximately ten minutes early to complete any necessary intake forms and use the restroom before your session begins. Avoid heavy meals within an hour of your appointment, as a full stomach can interfere with comfort during massage. Come with clean skin, free of heavy fragrances, lotions, or oils. Communicate openly and honestly with your therapist about any injuries, pain, medical conditions, medications, or specific areas you’d like emphasized or avoided. Remove jewelry that might interfere with massage strokes. Most importantly, arrive with an open mind and a genuine willingness to receive care and relax deeply.

Most people undress completely or down to underwear for a massage, getting beneath the sheets before the therapist enters the treatment room. You’ll remain properly draped throughout your entire session with only the area currently being massaged exposed. However, you should wear whatever allows you to feel most comfortable and relaxed. If you prefer staying partially clothed, that’s completely acceptable, though it may limit certain techniques or access to specific muscles. Your comfort and sense of safety matter infinitely more than following any supposed rules.
Some muscle tenderness is completely normal after intensive deep tissue massage, particularly if it’s your first session or considerable time has passed since your last massage. This post-treatment soreness typically resembles the pleasant muscle fatigue after a good workout and usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Drinking generous amounts of water following your massage helps flush metabolic waste products and minimizes soreness. If tenderness persists beyond several days or feels more like sharp pain than dull achiness, inform your therapist before your next appointment so they can modify their pressure and approach.
Massage therapy can be remarkably effective for numerous pain conditions and injuries when performed by knowledgeable, skilled therapists. It helps substantially with chronic back pain, persistent neck discomfort, tension headaches, sports injuries, fibromyalgia symptoms, arthritis pain, and many other conditions. However, massage should complement rather than replace appropriate medical care. If you’re dealing with injuries or chronic conditions, consult your physician before booking massage therapy. Provide your therapist with complete, honest information about your condition so they can modify techniques appropriately and work safely within your limitations.
This depends entirely on your individual goals and needs. For general stress management and wellness maintenance, monthly massages serve most people beautifully. If you’re addressing chronic pain or training intensively for athletic performance, weekly or biweekly sessions often provide superior results. Those recovering from acute injuries might benefit from more frequent sessions initially, then gradually spacing treatments further apart as healing progresses. Your therapist can help determine the ideal frequency based on how your body responds to treatment, your specific goals, and your budget constraints.
Falling asleep during a massage is not only normal but actually a wonderful sign that you’ve achieved deep relaxation. Many people drift in and out of consciousness, especially during gentle relaxation massages. Don’t fight this natural response. Your body continues receiving all therapeutic benefits whether you’re awake or sleeping. Many therapists actually consider it a sincere compliment when clients feel safe and comfortable enough to sleep. Even snoring is perfectly normal and nothing to feel embarrassed about.

Massage is generally safe and highly beneficial during pregnancy after the first trimester concludes. Our specialized maternity massage employs pregnancy-specific positioning with supportive cushions and techniques modified for your changing body. We use comfortable side-lying positions that protect both mother and baby. Massage during pregnancy helps tremendously with back pain, leg swelling, stress, anxiety, and sleep difficulties. Always inform your therapist that you’re expecting and discuss massage therapy with your obstetrician to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific pregnancy.

Whether you’re seeking relief from stubborn pain, faster recovery from intense training, or simply claiming an hour of genuine peace in your demanding life, Spa West massage therapy offers skilled, compassionate care that your body will thank you for.
