Which massage after workouts or long sitting?
Sports Recovery Massage focuses on the back, hips, legs and calves. Back Walking is by agreement when suitable.
Pregnant with a tense back or tired legs?
Prenatal Comfort Massage uses supported side-lying positioning and gentle pressure. Share your pregnancy stage. Ask your prenatal provider first about complications or new symptoms; new or sudden swelling needs assessment before massage.
Can couples share a room or use separate rooms?
Book Couples Massage once for two guests. Each person chooses their pressure and focus. Tell us your room preference so we can confirm availability. Do not book the same couples appointment twice.
Head tension with a tight neck?
Tension Headache Relief focuses on scalp, temples, neck and shoulders. It is a relaxation service—not treatment for migraines. New, sudden, severe or unusual headaches need medical assessment.

Choose an available therapist in Acuity. Ask for lighter or firmer pressure, a pause, or an area to avoid at any time.

Your comfort & safety
What about numbness, swelling or new pain?
Do not assume these symptoms are ordinary muscle tension or poor circulation. Seek medical advice before massage, especially for new or worsening pain, numbness, weakness, or unexplained swelling. During pregnancy, discuss new symptoms with your prenatal provider. Massage safety information ↗
