Feel better – move better!
If you’re looking for a safe and proven way to experience overall

massage. Here are just a few of the reasons more and more people are enjoying
the benefits of massage.

- Management of acute and chronic pain
- Rejuvenation after strenuous sports activity
- Recovery from sports injuries
- General health and fitness
- Improvement of blood circulation
- Complement to other healthcare treatments
Just tell our licensed massage therapists what you need, and they’ll
design your session to address your specific requirements.
What to expect during and after a massage
The massage itself is a relaxing, hands-on procedure that can target
any area of the body or the entire body. Typically massage focuses on
sore or stiff muscles and joints to increase circulation and blood flow
to problem areas, which initiates healing. But many people enjoy a total-body
massage simply to invigorate and energize them.
During your massage, you’ll be treated with dignity and respect.
At all times while working with your massage therapist, you’ll be
modestly covered and comfortable. You’ll never be asked to disrobe
to any extent you’re not comfortable with.
It’s normal to experience slight soreness after a massage, because
your muscles have just received a lot of work they may not be used to.
This discomfort usually disappears after several sessions. To help you
recover fast and well, remember to drink plenty of water in the hours after
a massage to remove waste products that were mobilized during the procedure.

Massage therapy session pricing
We offer three different time options for massage therapy.
Members Non-members

How long should your massage last? People who want to focus on a specific
body area such as the back or neck typically have a 30-minute massage.
For total-body massage, an hour is usually just right. If you have multiple
areas you want treated, a 90-minute massage is ideal. Your massage therapist
will understand your needs and suggest the most beneficial time frame.
Payment is due after each session and can be made at the Member Services
desk. For your convenience, you may pay by cash, check or ATM/credit card.
Some insurance policies include physician-prescribed massage therapy in
their coverage. Mercy Fitness does not bill insurance carriers, but we
will gladly assist you in filling out the correct forms.
