This overlooked massage session. People pass it by because it’s not long enough and yet one of the biggest complaints I hear the from possible clients is that they don’t have time. Say what?
Often times for a 30 minute massage you won’t need to undress for the session. It can’t get much faster then this.
Pros
Less time! You might think an hour massage is just an hour of your time, but think again. New clients need to factor in time to complete paperwork, and everyone needs to factor in the unforeseen delay. There’s also the time getting undressed and then dressed, checking out, etc.
A half hour session can be a great way to get the work in that you need without the big commitment. (Bonus: since it’s a smaller unit of time, it’s actually a little easier to get in on short notice.)
Focus. When you go in for a half hour session, it’s understood that there’s only really time to treat one or two focus areas. I won’t be worrying about making time to get in a full body massage. My treatment is focused, and so is my attention.
Treatment. Got a terrible crick in your neck? Is there just one area where you have persistent pain that just needs to be rubbed out? A half hour session might be all you need. Keep in mind, though, that the more chronic the pain is, the more regular massage sessions it will take to heal the problem. You can’t expect to reach your fitness goals after just one workout, right? Massage can be the same way. Having said that, many clients report feeling better after just one focused treatment. Your mileage may vary.
Cons
It’s over already?
If you’re looking for a relaxing experience as well as treatment, you might want to consider going with a longer session. A half hour usually isn’t enough time if your goal is to release the cares of the day and escape your stress for a while. Sixty minutes is enough to get that job done for most people, but have you tried a 90 minute session? That is relaxation.

So I invite you to schedule your next 30 minute massage. Experience that quick and ease this session offers. In a hurry - Don't worry. Would you like to feel better - Let's spend 30 minutes together.
Have a great rest of your day.
