01
Recover
Support tired, overused, or tense muscles after Pilates, yoga, strength work, travel, or long days.
Renewal | Massage & Bodywork
Thoughtful bodywork for recovery, mobility, and a deeper sense of ease.
Massage at Solterra is designed to meet the body where it is. Whether you are managing training fatigue, everyday tension, limited mobility, or simply need time to slow down, each session is tailored around your goals, preferences, and comfort.
The Solterra approach
Bodywork that supports both performance and stillness.
Our massage experience is intentionally flexible. Pressure, pacing, focus areas, and techniques are adjusted throughout the session so the treatment feels purposeful rather than routine.
02
Restore mobility
Use focused bodywork to address areas that feel restricted, guarded, or difficult to move comfortably.
03
Downshift
Create space for the nervous system to settle through slower pacing, intentional pressure, and uninterrupted rest.
What may be included
A customized session built around your needs.
Swedish techniques
Longer, flowing movements that support relaxation, circulation, and full-body ease.
Therapeutic pressure
More targeted work for areas of persistent muscular tension or overuse.
Myofascial work
Slower, sustained techniques intended to address restriction and improve tissue glide.
Assisted stretching
Gentle, guided movement that may support flexibility, range of motion, and recovery.
Choosing your session
Book according to your goal, not a fixed massage category.
Solterra’s massage sessions are designed to be customized. You do not need to diagnose exactly what type of massage you need before arriving.
Tell us where you feel tension, soreness, or restriction.
Share whether you prefer light, moderate, or firm pressure.
Identify areas you want included or avoided.
Let your therapist know whether your priority is relaxation, recovery, or focused work.
| Your priority | Session emphasis | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| General relaxation | Full-body, slower-paced work | A calming session with moderate or lighter pressure and fewer concentrated focus areas. |
| Post-workout recovery | Legs, hips, back, shoulders, or other trained areas | Targeted work around fatigued muscle groups with pressure adjusted to tolerance. |
| Persistent tension | Focused therapeutic bodywork | More time devoted to a smaller number of areas rather than a full-body routine. |
| Mobility support | Myofascial work and assisted stretching | Slower techniques paired with guided movement where appropriate. |
Session lengths
Choose enough time for the result you want.
60 minutes
Best for a focused full-body session or concentrated work on one or two priority areas.
90 minutes
Allows more complete full-body work while still providing meaningful time for specific areas of tension.
Ongoing care
Regular sessions may support a more consistent recovery rhythm, especially for active members or recurring muscular tension.
Final launch offerings, session durations, pricing, and enhancement availability will be confirmed before online booking opens.
Pairing massage with Solterra
Plan the order of services intentionally.
| Pairing | Recommended order | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pilates, yoga, or strength-based movement | Movement first, massage afterward | Bodywork can support recovery after the muscles have been active. |
| Infrared sauna | Sauna before massage, when appropriate | Heat may help the body feel more prepared for slower, restorative work. Hydrate well. |
| Heated loungers | Before or after massage | Use before to settle in, or afterward to extend the sense of rest. |
| Mystic Unity | Massage first, Mystic Unity last | Massage oils, creams, pressure, and friction can interfere with developing sunless color. |
| Facials or skin treatments | Discuss timing when booking | Comfort, product use, and treatment positioning may affect the ideal sequence. |
Before your appointment
A few details help us personalize your session.
Arrive a few minutes early for first-visit intake.
Share current areas of pain, tenderness, injury, or medical concern.
Tell your therapist immediately if pressure, temperature, positioning, or technique feels uncomfortable.
Hydrate before and after your visit.
Avoid arriving immediately after a very large meal.
Professional standards
Comfort, privacy, and informed consent come first.
Massage services are provided by appropriately licensed professionals. You remain draped throughout the session except for the area actively being treated, and you may request changes or stop the session at any time.
Massage and bodywork are wellness services and are not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a physician, physical therapist, or other qualified medical professional.
Common questions
What to know before your first massage at Solterra.
Do I need to choose a specific massage style?
No. Book the session length that fits your needs, then discuss your goals, pressure preference, and focus areas with your therapist.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing to the appointment. Your therapist will explain undressing and draping options privately. You should undress only to your personal comfort level.
Will deep pressure always provide a better result?
No. More pressure is not automatically more effective. The appropriate intensity depends on your goals, tissue sensitivity, health history, and how your body responds during the session.
Can I request a specific area of focus?
Yes. You may request concentrated work on areas such as the back, neck, shoulders, hips, legs, or feet. Your therapist will help determine what can reasonably be addressed within the scheduled time.
Should massage hurt?
Therapeutic work may feel intense at times, but it should remain within your comfort and tolerance. Tell your therapist immediately if pressure or technique feels painful or unsafe.
When should I postpone massage?
Postpone when you have a fever, contagious illness, unexplained acute pain, or another condition that may make massage inappropriate. Seek medical guidance when you are uncertain.
Can I receive massage during pregnancy?
Availability depends on therapist qualifications, stage of pregnancy, health history, and Solterra’s final service policies. Contact Solterra before booking so the appropriate session can be confirmed.
Make space for recovery
Massage belongs in your wellness rhythm, not only on your hardest days.
Pair thoughtful bodywork with movement, heat, and stillness to create a more complete recovery practice at Solterra.
