What changes with more time
In a sport or classic massage the techniques are the same whatever length you book. What changes is how much of the body I can cover, and how long I can stay with the areas that need it. With more time I can work slowly through deep layers instead of moving on after a few minutes.
How they compare
| 60 min | 90 min | 120 min | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (sport or classic) | 60 € | 80 € | 120 € |
| Best for | One or two focus areas | Full body with time for problem areas | Thorough full-body work, two focus areas |
| Typical example | Back, neck and shoulders | Back plus hips and legs | Whole body with stretching and detailed work |
| Pace | Focused | Unhurried | Slow and detailed |
Shoulders Mobility and Lymphatic Drainage are 60-minute sessions only, because they are built as focused treatments with a set structure.
Why 90 minutes is often worth it
A 90-minute session costs 20 € more than 60 minutes, but gives you 50% more time. For many people this is the point where a full-body massage stops feeling rushed. It matters most if:
- you are muscular or train a lot, because larger, denser muscles take longer to work through properly
- the pain has several sources, for example lower back pain that also involves the hips and glutes
- you want both relaxation and focused work in the same visit
Which one should you book?
- Your neck and shoulders are tight from desk work: 60 minutes is usually enough. See massage for office workers.
- You want a full-body classic massage to relax: 60 minutes covers the whole body at a calm pace. Choose 90 if you want it slower.
- You run or cycle and your legs, hips and back all feel tired: 90 minutes. See massage for runners.
- You lift weights and want the whole body worked properly: 90 minutes, or 120 if there is a specific problem area as well.
- You come regularly, every one or two weeks: 60 minutes is often enough to maintain the result.
- You come rarely and a lot of tension has built up: 90 or 120 minutes, so we can work through it without rushing.
- You want a focused session for the shoulders or for swelling: Shoulders Mobility or Lymphatic Drainage, both 60 minutes.
If you are unsure, book sport massage or classic massage for 90 minutes. It gives enough room for both a full-body session and the areas that need extra attention.
