Choosing the right massage length depends on your goals, the areas you want treated and how much time you have available.

A longer treatment is not always necessary, but it can give your therapist more time to work carefully and avoid rushing.

Is 30 Minutes Enough?

A 30-minute massage is best for one specific area, such as:

* Back, neck and shoulders
* Feet and lower legs
* Head and shoulders
* A single area of muscular tension

It is a good choice for a quick treatment during a busy day, but there may not be enough time for a full-body massage.

When Should You Choose 60 Minutes?

A 60-minute massage is the most popular option because it allows time for a more complete treatment.

It may be suitable if you want:

* A full-body massage
* General relaxation
* Attention to two or three tense areas
* A balance between focused work and relaxation
* Enough time to settle into the treatment properly

For many clients, 60 minutes provides a comfortable and satisfying experience.

Is 90 Minutes Better?

A 90-minute massage gives your therapist more time to work gradually and focus on several areas without rushing.

It may be the right choice if you:

* Have tension in multiple parts of the body
* Prefer a slower, more thorough treatment
* Want extra stretching during a Thai massage
* Choose Deep Tissue Massage
* Have not had a massage for a long time
* Want a deeply relaxing experience

The additional time also allows pressure to be built up more gradually.

What About Your First Massage?

If it is your first visit, 60 minutes is usually a good starting point. It gives you enough time to experience the treatment and learn which pressure and techniques you prefer.

If you already know that you have several areas needing attention, you may benefit more from 90 minutes.

Ask Your Therapist

Before the treatment begins, tell your therapist where you feel tension and what you would like to achieve.

Your therapist can help you decide whether the booked time is suitable and prioritise the areas that need the most attention.
