Remedial massages may involve some deep tissue techniques to effectively relieve stress.

This type of massage uses intense pressure to affect the fascia and connective tissue. It is designed to relieve muscle tension and soreness, and other benefits include recovery from injury and improved posture. Tissue massage can be painful, but the short-term pain is far outweighed by the long-term benefits to your well-being and overall health.

When booking a massage, along with the type of massage you require, there are a number of factors that will affect the price. The most important factors are how close you are to the massage therapist, how long you want to be treated, the frequency of treatments and whether you need additional treatments.

Location
Depending on whether the massage therapist you hire has her own space, works in a spa or studio, or works mobile will affect the price. Spas and studios can provide a host of additional services, but they will also face overhead costs, which add to the price. Massages offered in your own home may incur a travel fee depending on how close your home is to the massage therapist's business.

Duration
The duration of the massage is a key factor in determining the price of the job. Typically, massage sessions last 60 minutes, with longer sessions that treat multiple areas lasting 90 minutes. Whether the company charges by the hour or as a one-time fee can also affect the quoted price.

Frequency
If you wish to make regular appointments with a massage therapist, this will affect the price. You'll end up paying more than once, but you may find that the price for each session drops to prices guaranteed by a longer contract.

Specialization
Depending on the treatment required, you may need to seek out a specialist massage therapist. This specialization often requires an additional level of training and, in some cases, certification on behalf of the massage therapist. Remedial massage, acupressure or reflexology require a greater degree of expertise and in turn will incur a higher cost. Make sure you know what you're looking for in your massage therapist to ensure you don't end up paying more for something you don't need.

Additional treatments
Some massage therapists offer add-ons along with the massage treatment. Hot stone treatments, acupuncture and ear candles are common and will incur an additional cost if used.

Massage prices can change depending on the type of massage you want to receive, the length of the massage, or if you are looking for a mobile service house. Below are quotes Oneflare customers have received, from full body massages to organizing a massage party for an event:

Qualifications
Professional massage therapists undertake training and education to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to provide quality service. Hiring a qualified massage therapist can be an advantage in the company that determines your specific needs and tailors your service to resolve any complications.

What is their specialty?
Hire a company that specifies which area they primarily perform massages on. For example, one massage company might specialize in sports massage or reflexology, and another might specialize in aromatherapy, hot stone massage, Thai or Swedish massage. These types differ greatly and it's rare that you find a massage therapist who can do it all.

placement arrangements
Most of the time, you will have to go into the massage business to receive the service. However, depending on the company, they may come to you if you prefer. If you have to go to them, make sure they are within the desired distance and, alternatively, if you want to have your massage in the comfort of your home, make sure that the company allows home visits.

Reading past customer reviews will give you the ability to effectively indicate whether they are competent and qualified employees who are able to get the job done smoothly and brilliantly.
