If you want a deep tissue massage in Flower Mound, the thing to book is a Full Body Massage. That is the name on our menu, and it is the session almost everyone means when they say deep tissue. Sixty minutes is $80 at our Flower Mound spa. If you want the therapist working firmer than standard, deep-tissue pressure is a $10 to $15 add-on.
Expect slow, specific pressure rather than long flowing strokes, and expect to feel it the next day the way you feel a workout you have not done in a while. That soreness is common, dull rather than sharp, and usually settles within a day or two.
How often you come back depends on what you are after. One stubborn area takes a short run of sessions close together. General desk-and-driving tension holds fine at roughly once a month.
On our menu it is called Full Body Massage
Deep tissue is a way of working, not a separate room or a different table. A therapist reaches the deeper layers by slowing down, using forearms and elbows as well as hands, and staying on one area long enough for it to let go. All of that happens inside a Full Body Massage, which is why the words are not on the booking page.
- Deep-tissue pressure is a $10 to $15 add-on. Not a different service — the therapist working harder and staying longer on the areas you flagged.
- Aromatherapy is a separate $15 add-on, peppermint or lavender. Skip it if you are sensitive to scent.
- Therapeutic Massage is the step up in structure. Hot stones are included in every therapeutic massage. Here it is $55, $75, $100 and $135 for 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes; in Colleyville, $65, $130 and $160 for 30, 60 and 90.

How much pressure is the right amount?
Pressure is a conversation, and the time to have it is at minute five, not on your way out the door. Your therapist cannot feel what you feel. Say “a little firmer” or “ease off there” and that is what you get.
A simple test: you should be able to breathe normally. If you are holding your breath or gripping the edge of the table, the pressure has gone past useful. A muscle defending itself is not a muscle letting go.
The dull, satisfying ache of a therapist sitting on a tight spot is fine if you want it. Pain that is sharp, burning or traveling down an arm or leg is not, and it means speak up straight away. Firmer is not automatically better, either — if firm work is new to you, start at 60 minutes.
Why you are sore the next day, and when soreness is not normal
Delayed soreness after firm bodywork is common. It usually turns up 12 to 24 hours later, feels like the ache after unfamiliar exercise, and eases over a day or two. It is more likely after your first massage in a long time, or if you asked for more pressure than you are used to.
A lot of spa writing explains that ache as something being released from the body. It is not. You are feeling ordinary tissue respond to load it is not accustomed to. Drink water because most people are mildly dehydrated anyway. Move a little rather than not at all, and skip the hard training session that evening.
Pay attention if any of this shows up instead:
- Sharp, shooting or electric pain rather than a dull ache
- Numbness, tingling or weakness
- Visible bruising — firm pressure should not bruise you
- Soreness getting worse after 72 hours instead of better
- Anything that does not feel like muscle
Any of those are worth a call to your physician, and worth telling us.
How often should you get a deep tissue massage?
Honest answer first: there is no settled, well-evidenced schedule. Most of what you will read on this question, here included, is practical experience rather than proven protocol.
| What you are working on | A cadence that tends to work |
|---|---|
| One stubborn area, like a shoulder locked up for weeks | Weekly or every other week for three or four sessions, then reassess |
| Desk work, driving, general tension | Once a month |
| A heavy training block | Every other week, lighter close to an event |
| Occasional flare-ups | When you need it, no schedule |
A cadence you will actually keep beats an ambitious one you abandon in March. If you land on monthly, do the arithmetic: an hour here is $80, and 90 minutes is $110.99. Membership is $66.99 a month for one 60-minute full body massage, classic facial or reflexology session, and $96.99 for a 90-minute massage. Credits roll over, are shareable with immediate family, and you can freeze anytime for $10 a month.
Three-month minimum commitment. Member discounts apply while your membership is active. If you cancel, remaining credits stay redeemable for 45 days.
When medical and orthopedic massage is the better booking
Deep tissue is a general-purpose tool. For one specific, persistent problem — a shoulder that has not moved right since a fall, low back trouble that keeps returning, something your physical therapist is already working on — an assessment-led session usually gets you further.
Medical and orthopedic massage is $149.99 for 55 minutes and $189.99 for 90, the same at both spas. It starts by looking at how you actually move and includes myoskeletal alignment work. It sits alongside physical therapy or chiropractic care rather than in place of it.
Before you book: hours, arrival, and what to tell your therapist
We are at 2900 Long Prairie Rd, Suite C, just off FM 2499, open Wednesday through Monday from 10 AM to 8 PM and closed Tuesdays. Evening slots go first, so book further ahead than feels necessary. Directions are on the Flower Mound spa page.
Tell your therapist three things before you lie down: where it hurts, what you did to it, and anything you are managing medically or taking. Blood thinners, recent surgery, a skin condition or a pregnancy all change how we work. Unsure which line fits? The front desk will tell you on (972) 539-1388.
One thing worth saying plainly. Massage here supports relaxation, comfort and general wellbeing. It is complementary care, not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and it does not replace advice from your physician. If you are pregnant or managing a medical condition, check with your doctor first and tell us what they said.
Frequently asked questions
Is deep tissue massage the same as a Full Body Massage here?
Yes. Full Body Massage is the menu name for the session most people call deep tissue, and your therapist works at the pressure you ask for. For noticeably firmer work, add deep-tissue pressure for $10 to $15 when you book or when you arrive.
What does a 60-minute deep tissue massage cost?
Eighty dollars at our Long Prairie Road spa and $100 in Colleyville. Thirty minutes is $45 and $55; 90 minutes is $110.99 and $139.99. Colleyville runs higher across the menu, so check the list for the spa you are visiting. Deep-tissue pressure adds $10 to $15.
Is it normal to be sore after a deep tissue massage?
A dull ache for a day or two is common, especially after your first firm session in a while. It usually appears 12 to 24 hours afterwards and eases on its own. Sharp pain, numbness, bruising, or soreness worsening after three days is not typical — contact your physician.
How often should you get a deep tissue massage?
For one stubborn area, most people book weekly or every other week for three or four visits, then space them out. For general desk or driving tension, monthly is the cadence people actually keep. In a heavy training block, every other week. There is no proven schedule.
Can I get a deep tissue massage while pregnant?
Book prenatal massage instead. It is done side-lying, with positioning and pressure chosen for pregnancy, and at this location it is $100 for 60 minutes and $135 for 90. Clear it with your OB or midwife first. Postnatal sessions are the same price.
If your shoulders have been up around your ears since August, this is the session for it. Book a Full Body Massage online, put the tight spots in the notes, and ask for deep-tissue pressure when you arrive.
