Everything You Need to Know About Professional Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is more than a luxury, it’s a clinically supported, body-based therapy that promotes relaxation, pain relief, improved circulation, and overall wellness. This FAQ section is designed to answer common questions about massage therapy while helping you understand how professional massage can support your health and wellness.
-
Massage therapy is a hands-on therapeutic practice that involves the manipulation of muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and fascia to improve the body’s function and promote relaxation. A licensed massage therapist uses a variety of techniques—such as Swedish massage, Deep Tissue massage, relaxation massage, and therapeutic bodywork—to address tension, discomfort, and stress held in the body.
Beyond muscle relief, massage therapy works directly with the nervous system, helping shift the body out of chronic stress and into a parasympathetic (rest-and-repair) state. This can lead to reduced anxiety, improved sleep quality, enhanced circulation, and a greater sense of overall balance.
Modern massage therapy is often used as part of a wellness routine for:
Stress management
Muscle tension and soreness
Postural imbalances
Recovery from physical activity
General relaxation and mental clarity
Massage therapy can be both therapeutic and restorative, depending on your goals. Each session is customized to your needs, preferences, and comfort level.
-
Massage therapy is beneficial for people of all ages and lifestyles. Whether you’re physically active, working long hours at a desk, or simply feeling the effects of daily stress, massage can be tailored to support your body.
People who commonly benefit from massage therapy include:
Individuals experiencing chronic stress or anxiety
Clients with muscle tightness, stiffness, or soreness
Office workers dealing with neck, shoulder, and low-back tension
Athletes or active individuals needing muscle recovery
Those seeking improved sleep and relaxation
Anyone looking to support overall wellness and self-care
Massage therapy is also helpful for people who don’t have pain but want to maintain mobility, reduce tension before it becomes an issue, and feel more connected to their body.
Sessions are always adjusted based on health history, pressure preference, and personal comfort, making massage therapy accessible and adaptable for most people.
-
Your massage session begins with a brief consultation to discuss your goals, areas of tension, pressure preference, and any health considerations. This ensures the session is personalized and aligned with your needs.
During the massage:
You will be properly draped at all times for comfort and privacy
Only the areas being worked on are uncovered
Pressure and techniques are adjusted throughout the session
You are encouraged to communicate preferences at any time
The environment is calm and professional, designed to help you relax and disconnect from daily stress. Most clients experience a deep sense of relaxation, mental clarity, and physical ease during and after the session.
After your massage, you may feel:
Relaxed or lightly energized
Reduced muscle tension
Improved range of motion
A sense of mental calm and grounding
Staying hydrated after your session is recommended to support recovery and overall well-being.

“Marvin is extremely nice and welcoming, and made me feel comfortable right away. This was one of the best massages I've had in years. Marvin knows what he's doing.
I am visiting from out of town and now I know where I'll be getting massages every time I'm back in LA!! Highly recommend. 10/10.”
— Lindsay R. (5-star Yelp Review)“Marvin is truly the best!!!! I carry so much tension in my upper back, neck, and lower back, and every time I leave, I feel so much more relaxed and loose. He’s incredibly skilled and intuitive, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping your body feel better. I prefer a deeper tissue massage, and he does a wonderful job. He creates a calm, comfortable environment, and he’s professional, kind, and easy to talk to. Highly recommend!”
— Melissa W. (5-star Google Review)“THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I am very particular with how I need my body to be taken care of and Marvin took care of everything without needing to ask. He is very intuitive and has genuine care and passion to help your body which is hard to find. He hits the spots that usually get neglected and you realise how much of a difference it makes to your body. My neck, shoulders and back were in immense pain for MONTHS and in one session I feel whole again. He is my new and only therapist from now on, I highly recommend please help support him and get healed!”
