Melt Massage & Bodywork

Customized Therapeutic and Medical Massage

Instead of having you choose an option from a standardized list, your massage is 100% centered around the conversation you have with your therapist. Your therapist will take the time to get to know you, and will always invite openness and communication. The network of Independent LMTs at Melt are trained in numerous modalities and can offer a rich perspective on any issue you've come to address. These techniques include, but are not limited to, medical massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, swedish & relaxation-based massage, sports massage, PNF techniques, Thai Massage, hot stone work, aromatherapy/essential oils, and Shiatsu. Some of the therapists have specialized and additional training so if you're looking for one modality in particular like a full Thai Massage session, let us know before you book your session and we'll pair you with the most appropriate therapist.

Home Visits

We have therapists in our network that can provide massage in your home. Once we know the specifics of your request, we will reach out to the therapists to see if their availability lines up. In addition to the service cost, which are $75 more than our in-studio rates, we ask that you cover the therapist's transportation to and from your location. We will price that out ahead of time so you know the total cost before confirming.

Partner Massage Lesson

"Can you rub my shoulders?" We've all heard it, but how many of us know how to really help? With a Partner Massage Lesson at Melt you can learn how! During this session, an LMT will demo and teach each of you basic massage practices. This 90-minute lesson is broken down into two 45-minute segments, giving each of you equal time to learn techniques and practice on each other under your LMT's guidance.

Prenatal Massage

Among the many momentous things about pregnancy are the significant mental, physiological, and spiritual changes a person experiences. Massage can be an effective complementary form of prenatal healthcare, offering pregnant clients a wide range of benefits. Prenatal massage can alleviate stress and promote relaxation, reduce swelling and high blood pressure, relieve musculoskeletal pain and strain, contribute to shorter, less painful labor, and facilitate postpartum recovery. Therapists spend time before each session trying to learn as much as possible about your unique situation, and as your pregnancy progresses, shape the massage according to whatever your specific issues are at that time. Unless you're in your first trimester, prenatal massages are done in the side-lying position along with, depending on your comfort, some time on your back or semi-reclined. Based on our training, we feel it's the optimal position for a pregnant person to lie in as even with special pillows, lying face down can strain the uterine ligaments and increase the pressure within the belly. We have lots of pillows and bolstering techniques so you'll feel nice and comfy throughout the entire session!
