Questions, answered.

Everything people usually ask before their first session.

Deep tissuePricing & bookingHSA/FSA
Is Unwind a spa?

No, and that's the point. Unwind is a focused therapeutic massage practice. Marc does deep tissue, sports recovery, and problem-area work — not ambiance-first relaxation. If you want a problem fixed, you're in the right place.

Does deep tissue massage hurt?

It can be intense on a tight spot, but it should always feel like productive “good pressure,” never sharp or injurious pain. Marc checks in constantly and works at the depth your body allows.

How long should my first session be?

Sixty minutes covers one or two problem areas well. If you have serious chronic tension, are recovering from surgery, or want full-body work, 90 minutes makes a measurable difference.

How often should I come in?

For an acute issue, weekly for a few weeks, then taper. Many clients settle into monthly maintenance once the problem is under control.

Do you offer a new-client discount?

Yes. New clients receive $10 off your first session.

Do you take insurance, HSA, or FSA?

Unwind doesn't bill insurance directly, but massage is frequently HSA/FSA eligible. Marc can provide a receipt on request — check with your plan.

Will I always work with Marc?

Yes. Unwind is a one-therapist practice. Marc personally handles every session.
