There are several factors that will determine what modality you should get. The following are broad guidelines.

• a - If you like strong pressure => we recommend Deep Tissue.
• b - If you like softer pressure => we recommend Swedish massages.
• c - If you need a combination of stretching and massaging (after a physical activity) => We recommend a Sports massage.
• d - If you are pregnant => we recommend a Prenatal massage. Also note that we will not massage pregnant women in the 1st trimester.

In a simple word - No. This is a very common misconception. While some massage modalities such as Deep Tissue Massage and Sports Massage do address the needs of the deeper layers of muscle tissue - massages do not have to hurt - ever! Some people however, do enjoy more pressure and ask for "therapeutic pain" during their massage therapy session.

We ask that you undress to your comfort level. Most of our massage modalities require that you remove your clothing so the massage therapists can properly address the needs of your body. Women are asked to remove their bras for the massage session.

Here at M3 Massage, we use Bon Vital Creme which is 100% natural and completely free of parabens.

Upon your arrival at M3 Massage, you will be asked to fill out a quick intake and consent form. An M3 Massage therapist will then take you to your room where they will discuss any particular issues you may be having. Please be sure to mention whether you have had any recent injuries.

Most insurances differ - but massages generally qualify for your FSA or HSA flex spending points. Just make sure you ask for a receipt. Although M3 Massage will not ask for a referral from your doctor, your insurance might require one.
