Your first visit to Urban Oasis is designed to be welcoming and stress-free. Upon arrival, you’ll complete a brief health history form to help us understand your needs and any concerns. Your licensed massage therapist will then conduct a short consultation to discuss your goals, areas of tension or pain, and preferred pressure levels. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early for this process.

During your session, you’ll undress only to your comfort level and will be professionally draped throughout the massage. Your therapist will check in about pressure and comfort throughout the treatment. After your massage, we’ll provide water and a quiet moment to reorient yourself. Your therapist will also offer personalized self-care recommendations and suggest a treatment plan if needed.

The frequency of massage therapy depends on your individual needs and wellness goals. For chronic pain management or specific conditions, we typically recommend sessions every 1-2 weeks initially, then transitioning to a maintenance schedule of every 3-4 weeks. For stress management and general wellness, monthly sessions often provide excellent results. Athletes or those with high-stress jobs might benefit from bi-weekly sessions.

As the best massage therapy provider in Logan, Utah, we create personalized treatment plans based on factors like: • Your specific health conditions • Stress levels and lifestyle • Physical activity and exercise routine • Recovery from injuries • Budget and schedule Your therapist will work with you to determine the optimal frequency for your situation.

Deep tissue massage and therapeutic massage serve different purposes, though there can be some overlap. Deep tissue massage specifically targets deeper muscle layers and connective tissue, using firm pressure and slow strokes to address chronic muscle tension, adhesions, and deep-seated problems. This technique is particularly effective for chronic pain, limited mobility, and recovery from injuries.

Therapeutic massage, on the other hand, is a more general term that encompasses various techniques tailored to your specific needs. It may include elements of Swedish massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching, with pressure ranging from light to firm. This versatility makes it excellent for: • Overall stress reduction • General muscle tension relief • Improved circulation • Enhanced relaxation • Better sleep quality

During your consultation, our experienced therapists will help determine which approach or combination of techniques will best serve your needs.
