Go Deep!

Sometimes you just need deep tissue work. Really. You know it’s true. The key to successful deep tissue work is to warm the tissue properly and gently to get the muscle fibers to relax, allowing the therapist to get in deeper as the tissue allows without causing pain. Deep Tissue is a perfect massage to add to your custom treatment, as some areas will be tighter and denser than others. Proper pressure will be established based on your needs and your communication with your Therapist.

Cancellation Policy

At Westside Massage we take every step necessary to help you remember your appointments. You will receive a text confirmation 48 hours prior to your appointment. (Please make sure your account is updated with your most current information).

While we do understand that emergencies arise and things happen, when you have a Massage/bodywork session scheduled and cancel at the last minute, we are unable to fill that time slot with another appointment on a moment’s notice. This leads to lost wages and frustration.

We require a credit card to hold your appointment time. We do not charge your card before you come in, holding this appointment with your credit card is to ensure our cancellation policy”

Any massage/bodywork sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be billed 50% of the session total, no-shows and sessions canceled with less than 6 hours’ notice will be billed at 100% of the session total.

Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and of course true emergencies (illness, hospitalization, accidents, real life Jumanji) will be taken into consideration.
