Discounts

The goal of Move Free Massage is to have our clients return on a regular basis. We believe in the cumulative effects of bodywork and want you back as often as possible. Please note the discounts offered for Boston Pilates clients and hospital staff listed in the second column. Move Free Massage has been associated with Boston Pilates since its beginnings in February 2007 and also supported by Children's Hospital Boston by grants and funding (although employees from any hospital with a valid ID may receive the benefit).

In addition, students receive 20% off all regularly priced treatments and extra savings are available for those interested in being a ‘Visionary’ (read below for details).

A fee of $40 for travel expenses and a 20% gratuity will be added to the overall charge. The price per massage does not change.

Be a Move Free “Visionary”

The styles of bodywork and the treatment options that exist are endless. Sometimes as therapists we get caught in the pattern of doing what works best for "most clients". If you're interested in giving your body over for academic purposes to be a "Visionary", we have a couple options:

• Try Something New: Are you interested in a new service or particular massage style, but not interested in paying the price for an 'unknown'? At Move Free, we offer 50% savings for current clients who want to be a little daring. If you've paid full price for any previous session, then you can ask to 'Try Something New'. For example, maybe you want to try Shiatsu to compare it to massage. Or, maybe you've been interested in a sports massage even though your tendency is for relaxation. Let us know how we can broaden your knowledge of bodywork services and we'll cut the price in half.
• Guinea Pig Sessions: Continuing education is necessary for all therapists and bodyworkers. But, sometimes it's a challenge to learn new materials without working on the appropriate clients. So, we want to bring you in as 'guinea pigs' and we'll make the choice an easy one. Contact us if you qualify for any of the following areas and we'll provide a 30-45 minute treatment for FREE. Our therapists are currently seeking individuals who want bodywork, are available during weekday afternoons (12noon-5pm) or weekends, and:
  a) have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, or
  b) are a Junior or Senior competing in College athletics, or
  c) are pregnant in the 2nd trimester and haven already given birth to at least one child.

Treatments

At Move Free, we want you to have a memorable experience that helps you achieve your goals for better health. We offer several types of massage and bodywork to help make each session successful. Here are brief summaries of the massage and bodywork treatments we provide:

• Relaxation: The essence of our classic or Swedish style of massage is a full-body treatment that includes long, broad strokes, stretching, and a chance for complete mind and body relaxation.
• Therapeutic: Our most requested type of massage treatment. The goal of Therapeutic massage is to alleviate the pains and muscle tension caused from overuse, repetitive stress, and chronic conditions. This is a blended massage style that incorporates deeper pressure but moves quickly to provide a full-body session.
• Deep Tissue: If you want more depth than our Therapeutic massage, a focused Deep Tissue session may be appropriate. The body is built in layers of muscle and fascia. In order to access these layers, the muscle tissue must be adequately warmed up and proper pressure applied to isolate the offending area. This process is slow and sometimes painful as it separates and re-aligns the layers of muscle and fascia that keep our body's structure operating optimally.
• Sports: The preparation and recovery of an athlete is the goal of Sports massage. Prior to an event, a vigorous massage helps to limit the chance for injury and helps prepare the body for the activity. After an event, Sports massage assists with the elimination of excess toxins and helps the body recover from the various, physical demands. In both cases, the massage is fast-paced with lots of assisted stretching.
• Zen Shiatsu: Based upon Chinese medicine, Zen Shiatsu helps to balance the energy present in the body's meridians. It is performed with the client entirely clothed and includes specific areas of finger pressure and full-body stretches.
• Couples Workshop: Enjoy a new experience with your partner and attend a couples workshop. We want to help your boyfriend / girlfriend / husband / wife / significant other give “a decent back rub”. Each session starts with some education about massage and then hands-on practice is provided while getting instruction from a professional therapist. Come away with practical ideas and greater confidence to give your loved one a good massage. Pricing is based upon services requested.
