Is a 60-Minute or 90-Minute Massage Better?

Let’s face it: life can be stressful, and sometimes we just need a massage to unwind. But when it comes to choosing between a 60-minute or 90-minute session, it’s a little trickier than you might think. As someone who’s always juggling work, errands, and trying to make time for self-care (I mean, aren’t we all?), I’ve found that both have their perks, depending on the situation. So, let’s break it down.

60-Minute Massage: Quick, Effective, and Perfect for a Busy Schedule

When time is tight but you need to squeeze in some much-needed relaxation, a 60-minute massage is your best friend. It’s short, sweet, and gets the job done without taking up too much of your day.

I love a good 60-minute session when I’m feeling stressed but don’t want to lose an entire afternoon. You can still target a specific area—like your back, shoulders, or legs—without feeling rushed. And trust me, a solid hour of targeted pressure can do wonders for muscle tension and overall relaxation.

Who’s it for?

• Busy professionals with packed schedules
• People who need to unwind but are short on time
• Quick recovery sessions after intense workouts (hello, leg day!)

90-Minute Massage: The Luxury of Extra Time

Now, if your muscles really need some serious TLC, a 90-minute massage is where it’s at. The added time lets you experience a more comprehensive treatment, hitting all those pesky spots that need extra attention.

I personally love a 90-minute session for when I’m dealing with chronic tension or just want to fully unwind. It’s like hitting the reset button for your body and mind. Plus, if you're someone who enjoys a lot of variety—maybe a mix of Swedish relaxation and deeper pressure to work through knots—the 90 minutes allows for a more customized experience.

Who’s it for?

• Those looking for deep muscle relaxation and recovery
• People who want a more thorough, full-body experience
• When you have a little more time to spare (and are willing to make it all about YOU!)

Aescape: Tailored to Your Perfect Time

Here’s the thing—sometimes finding the right amount of time for a massage isn’t easy. A regular spa may only offer standard 60 or 90-minute sessions, but with Aescape, you can get massages in 15, 30, 45, or 60-minute increments, giving you the flexibility to choose exactly what fits your schedule and needs.

So, if you only have 30 minutes for a quick recovery session or need a full 45 minutes of relaxation, Aescape has you covered. The variety of session lengths is something you don’t always find at regular massage places, and it’s one of the reasons I love Aescape so much. Plus, you can completely personalize your massage, choosing the pressure, target areas, and even the music, ensuring the experience fits you perfectly.

So, Which Should You Choose?

At the end of the day, it depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re in need of quick stress relief and can’t spare much time, go for the 60-minute massage. But if you're all about taking time for a deeper, more relaxing experience, the 90-minute session might be your new go-to.

And hey, if you’re unsure, why not try both? You might find that a 60-minute massage on a busy week works best, while the 90-minute version becomes your favorite after a tough workout or stressful month.
