Is a 90 minute massage worth it?
The benefits of a longer massage extend well beyond the session. Clients often report better sleep, less muscle soreness, and a deeper feeling of emotional release after 90-minute sessions. It gives your body and mind the time they need to shift into healing mode—and stay there. A spa treatment for two hours is not an exaggerated version of a regular massage. It covers a wide array of services, from rest of particular muscles or areas of the body to offer the deepest level of relaxation, detoxification, and revitalization of the entire being.
Is a 1 hour massage too long?
So if you really want specific work AND full body relaxation, it may be worth considering a 90-min session. General relaxation can be achieved in a 60-min session, but if you just want general relaxation in half of the body (front/back or upper/lower) then a 45-min appointment can also work. If you need your full body massaged such as your back, arms, legs, neck and feet then a 90-minute massage is highly recommended. Massage therapists can only do tackle so many areas of the body during a one-hour massage.
