FAQs

If you’re new to massage or just curious about what to expect, we’ve got you covered. At Time to Relax, we believe informed clients are empowered clients. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our professional massage services, scheduling, benefits, and more.

  • What types of massage therapy do you offer?

    • Trigger Point Massage for targeted pain relief
    • Deep Tissue Massage for chronic muscle tension

  • How do I schedule an appointment?

    Scheduling is simple and fast—just text us at (323) 497-3152. We use text for convenience and quick communication. All services are by appointment only, and we do not accept walk-ins.

  • How should I prepare for my first massage session?

    Arrive a few minutes early, wear comfortable clothing, and bring any information about specific injuries or problem areas you'd like us to focus on. Hydration before and after the session is highly recommended to support muscle recovery and detox.

  • Does massage therapy hurt?

    Some types of therapeutic massage—like deep tissue or trigger point—can create mild discomfort, especially when working through tight areas or old injuries. That said, your comfort is a priority. Open communication during the session ensures pressure levels are adjusted to your tolerance.


    Soreness after a session can be normal, particularly after deep work. Drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins and ease recovery.


  • How often should I get a massage?

    It depends on your goals. For general wellness, once or twice a month may be sufficient. For those managing chronic pain, injuries, or high stress, weekly or bi-weekly sessions may offer greater benefits. We’re happy to help create a treatment plan that works for your body and schedule.

  • What are the benefits of regular massage therapy?

    Massage therapy has proven benefits that go far beyond relaxation, including:

    • Reduced muscle tension and pain
    • Enhanced flexibility and mobility
    • Better posture and alignment
    • Improved circulation and immune function
    • Decreased stress, anxiety, and fatigue
    • Faster recovery from injury or exertion
    • Ongoing back pain relief and joint support

  • Is massage safe for everyone?

    Massage therapy is safe for most people, but certain conditions—like recent surgeries, infections, or certain cardiovascular issues—may require medical clearance. If you're unsure, consult with your healthcare provider before booking.
