What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on approach that targets muscles and connective tissues to release tension, stimulate circulation, and restore the nervous system. Through a combination of techniques—from long, soothing strokes to deep pressure—massage encourages healing, improves range of motion, and supports emotional wellness. At House22, every massage is customized to your body and your goals.

Our Most Popular Massage Styles

Every body is different. That’s why we offer a range of massage techniques, tailored to your needs on the day of your visit. Our most requested services include:

Deep Tissue Massage

This intensive massage targets deeper layers of muscle and fascia to relieve chronic pain, post-workout soreness, or long-term tension.

Hot Stone Massage

Smooth, heated stones are used to relax muscles and enhance circulation. Ideal for clients who want deep relaxation without intense pressure.

Prenatal Massage

Designed for mothers-to-be, this gentle massage eases discomfort, reduces swelling, and provides a calming pause during pregnancy.

Custom Massage

We blend techniques—from Swedish to lymphatic drainage—based on your concerns. Whether you’re healing, relaxing, or resetting, this massage is uniquely yours.

Massage Benefits You’ll Notice

Massage offers far more than momentary relaxation. With regular sessions, you can expect:

Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Massage calms the nervous system, promoting mental clarity and emotional stability.
Improved Blood Flow: Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients delivered to your muscles and skin.
More Flexibility: By releasing tight muscles and fascia, massage improves your mobility and posture.
Pain Relief: Techniques like trigger point therapy reduce chronic tension, inflammation, and soreness.
Better Sleep: Massage encourages serotonin production, which supports deeper, more restful sleep.
Mood Boost: The healing power of touch can reduce cortisol levels and increase feelings of wellbeing.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Skin aging is influenced by both intrinsic factors, like genetics, and extrinsic factors, such as sun exposure and lifestyle choices. These elements contribute to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers, leading to the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin.

Before

You’ll begin with a consultation to share your needs, concerns, and preferences. Your therapist will tailor your session accordingly.

During

You’ll be comfortably draped on a warm massage table. Your therapist will adjust pressure and techniques throughout the session to match your comfort level.

After

Post-massage, we recommend staying hydrated and easing into your day. Your therapist may suggest gentle stretches or wellness tips to maintain results.

Results Timeline

Many clients feel immediate stress relief, muscle release, and mental clarity after a single session. With consistent treatments—biweekly or monthly—you may notice better posture, less pain, and improved emotional balance over time.
