FAQ
Pricing and booking
A 60-minute session is a solid starting point for most new clients. If you have one clear problem area, 30 minutes may be enough. If you have several areas, chronic tension, or recovery needs from work or training, 90 minutes usually gives Chris more room to work well.
They don't expire. Package purchases are final and non-refundable, and the sessions stay available when you're ready to use them.
Current payment options include Venmo, PayPal, HSA, and cash. Call Chris if you'd like to confirm a payment method before booking.
Types of massage
Not necessarily. Strong pressure can help, but it doesn't need to feel like a contest. Chris checks in, works the areas that matter, and adjusts so the pressure stays productive.
Sessions can include deep tissue massage, sports massage, trigger point work, cupping, reflexology, assisted movement, infrared / red light therapy, Swedish massage, prenatal massage, and other tools based on your goals and comfort.
A lot of clients book massage when those muscles feel tight, overworked, or restricted. Massage can support comfort and movement, but you'll want a qualified healthcare provider to check severe, sudden, radiating, numbness, weakness, or injury-related symptoms.
Tools and add-ons
Cupping may be used to support tissue glide, circulation, and recovery in areas that feel stuck or overworked. It can leave temporary marks, so Chris talks through it before using it.
Instrument-assisted tools can help Chris work specific tissue areas with a different kind of pressure than hands alone. They aren't required for every session and are only used when they fit the goal.
Yes. Chris now has an infrared / red light therapy machine, and he can include it during massage sessions at no extra cost when it fits the goal of the session.
No. Add-ons and tools are optional. A session can stay simple and hands-on if that's what you prefer.
Frequency and expectations
It depends on your body, schedule, and goals. Some clients come in as needed when a problem shows up, while others do better with regular maintenance every few weeks.
Sometimes one session makes a big difference, but long-term tension, repetitive work, training load, or old injuries may need a more consistent plan. Chris keeps the work practical and honest.
Some mild soreness can happen after deeper work, especially in areas that have been tight for a long time. It shouldn't feel alarming. If anything feels unusual, check in with Chris or a qualified healthcare provider.
Location and first visit
Appointments stay at the Liberty location until the Briarcliff/Kansas City move is complete in July 2026 and the exact suite number is confirmed.
Yes. Chris works with first-time clients often. You can ask questions, explain what you're nervous about, and keep the session focused on what feels comfortable and useful.
If you have sudden severe pain, unexplained swelling, fever, numbness, weakness, radiating symptoms, a suspected fracture, or a recent serious injury, get medical guidance before booking massage.
