Frequently Asked Questions

What is Corporate Chair Massage?

Corporate chair massage is a wellness service provided in workplace settings, typically involving a specially designed chair where employees receive short, seated massages. This service focuses on key tension areas like the back, neck, shoulders, and arms, and is designed to be convenient and non-disruptive to the workday, often lasting 10-20 minutes per session.

How Much Do You Tip a Chair Massage Therapist?

Tipping a chair massage therapist usually depends on the setting and the employer’s policies. In corporate or event settings, tips are often not expected as the service is usually paid for by the company or organizer. In private settings, a tip of 10-20% of the service cost is customary, similar to other personal service industries.

What to Expect During a Chair Massage?

During a chair massage, expect a quick and focused treatment targeting the back, neck, shoulders, and arms. The massage is performed over clothing, eliminating the need for disrobing. Therapists typically use a combination of kneading, compression, and stretching techniques. Sessions are short, often ranging from 10 to 20 minutes, designed to provide relaxation and stress relief without taking too much time.

What is the Advantage of Chair Massage?

The advantage of chair massage is its accessibility and efficiency in providing stress relief and relaxation. It’s particularly beneficial in corporate environments as it can boost employee morale, reduce stress, and improve productivity. The chair design allows for massages in a seated position, making it more convenient and less intrusive than traditional massage, and it can be easily incorporated into a busy workday.

What Do You Wear to a Chair Massage?

For a chair massage, it’s best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Since the massage is performed over the clothes without the use of oils, there’s no need for special attire. Avoid wearing thick or heavy clothing as it might hinder the therapist’s ability to effectively massage your muscles. Comfortable, casual attire is ideal to facilitate ease of movement and accessibility to areas like the back, shoulders, and arms.

Hot Stone Massage in Santa Monica

Take advantages of our fabulous 60 minute Hot Stone Therapy with our organic coconut oil.

Hot stone massage is a natural therapy in which warmed stones are positioned on parts of the client’s body of to maximize the therapeutic benefit.

The stones used are smooth surfaced river basalt stones and are heated in a professional sanitized water warmer before use.

The high iron content in basalt helps the stones retain heat during the massage.

Hot stone massages are beneficial on both physical and psychological levels.

The heat from the stones helps your muscles relax, allowing the massage therapist to manipulate your deep tissues more effectively.

Overly tense muscles can hinder the massage procedure, so if your muscles are extremely tight or stiff, the heated stones may provide the extra relaxation you need for the massage to be beneficial in releasing tension and easing sore muscles.

We use extra virgin coconut oil or a rich vegan body cream.

60 minutes $150

What is the benefit of Deep tissue massage?

The primary goal of deep tissue massage is to reduce pain and discomfort, while improving the body’s ability to heal itself. Deep tissue massages are not only relaxing — they also help “lengthen and release muscles” that frequently feel tense and get stuck in uncomfortable holding patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Body Scrub Massage?

A body scrub massage is a spa treatment combining exfoliation and massage. It involves applying a mixture, often made of natural ingredients like salt, sugar, or coffee grounds, mixed with essential oils to the body. This exfoliating process removes dead skin cells, promotes skin rejuvenation, and is followed by a soothing massage to relax muscles and enhance circulation.

Is a Body Scrub Massage Worth It?

A body scrub massage is worth it for many due to its numerous benefits. It not only exfoliates and removes dead skin cells, promoting healthier skin, but also improves circulation and relaxation. The massage element helps in stress reduction and muscle relaxation. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking both skincare and relaxation in one treatment.

What Happens in a Full Body Scrub?

In a full body scrub, the entire body is exfoliated using a scrubbing mixture. This process involves gently rubbing the scrub over the skin to remove dead skin cells, which enhances skin health and glow. After the scrubbing, the mixture is typically rinsed off, often followed by a hydrating lotion or oil to moisturize the skin. The treatment leaves the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

How Often Should You Scrub Your Body for Massage?

Scrubbing your body for a massage should ideally be done once or twice a week. Over-exfoliating can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause irritation. It’s important to consider skin type and sensitivity when determining frequency. For sensitive skin, less frequent scrubs are advisable.

What Do You Wear During a Body Scrub?

During a body scrub, you typically wear disposable underwear provided by the spa. Some spas may offer the option of a bikini or swimwear, but the goal is minimal clothing to allow maximum access for the scrub. Privacy is maintained with strategic draping using towels or sheets.

What Do You Wear for a Full Body Scrub and Massage?

For a full body scrub and massage, disposable underwear is often worn, provided by the spa. This allows for ease of access to most of the body while maintaining modesty. Towels or sheets are used for draping to ensure privacy and comfort. Some spas may allow you to wear a bikini or similar minimal attire if preferred.
