Structural Reset™

90 minutes: $275
120 minutes: $325

 

Your Body Does Not Need a Routine. It Needs a Reset.

The Structural Reset™ is a personalized, 90-minute massage session designed to address persistent tension, restricted movement, and the compensation patterns affecting how your body feels and functions.

Your session is guided by what you report, what I observe, and how your tissue responds—not by a predetermined massage sequence.

When Your Tension Keeps Returning

You may stretch, rest, change your position, or receive occasional massage—only to feel the same tension return.

That is often because the area that hurts is not the only area involved. Your body may be shifting effort, limiting movement, or creating tension elsewhere to help you keep functioning.

The Structural Reset™ looks beyond the location of discomfort. Your session may address connected areas throughout the body based on your reported concerns, movement patterns, tissue response, comfort level, and goals.

This service may be appropriate when you are experiencing:

  • Persistent neck, shoulder, or back tension

  • Hip or lower-body tightness

  • Restricted or uncomfortable movement

  • Tension related to prolonged sitting, standing, travel, or repetitive activity

  • Recurring discomfort that returns after temporary relief

  • A general sense that your body feels tight, heavy, or overworked

You do not have to wait until the tension becomes unbearable. Your body may simply need thoughtful, precise care.

What to Expect During Your Structural Reset™

Every Structural Reset™ begins with a brief conversation about what you are feeling, how your body has been functioning, and what you would like to address.

As the session begins, I observe how your body responds to pressure, movement, positioning, and touch. The work is then adjusted throughout the session based on those responses.

Your session may include:

  • Targeted deep-tissue techniques

  • Myofascial techniques

  • Slow compressions and nervous-system support

  • Focused work around muscular attachment areas

  • Assisted stretching or mobility when appropriate

  • Hot towels and customized pressure

  • Scalp and foot massage

  • The Meticulous Grounding Ritual

The session is not performed from a fixed routine. The areas addressed, techniques used, and amount of time spent in each area are determined by what your body needs that day.

Precision Changes Everything.

Why 90 Minutes?

Structural work requires enough time to understand the relationships between different areas of your body—not simply focus on the place that hurts.

A 90-minute Structural Reset™ allows time to work with your primary concern while also addressing the surrounding tension and compensation patterns that may be contributing to it.

The additional time supports a more complete, unhurried session without forcing your body or overwhelming your nervous system.

This is why 90 minutes is the recommended starting point for most Meticulous Massage® clients.

What You May Notice After Your Reset

Every body responds differently, and the experience may continue to unfold after your session.

Clients may notice:

  • Less muscular tension

  • Greater ease of movement

  • A more open or balanced feeling through the body

  • Reduced heaviness or restriction

  • Improved awareness of how different areas of the body are connected

  • A deeper sense of physical and nervous-system calm

Some areas may respond during the first session, while long-standing patterns may benefit from consistent care over time.

The goal is not to force your body into change. It is to create the conditions for your body to respond with greater ease, safety, and freedom.

Is the Structural Reset™ Right for You?

Choose the Structural Reset™ if you are seeking personalized, full-body care for recurring tension, restricted movement, physical fatigue, or compensation patterns that can be addressed within a standard 90-minute session.

You may need the Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ instead if your concerns are more complex, severe, or long-standing and require extended, highly focused work.

The Structural Intensive may be more appropriate for:

  • Significant or deeply established tension patterns

  • Pronounced postural changes, such as hyperkyphotic or hyperlordotic patterns

  • Multiple areas of restriction requiring concentrated attention

  • Cases in which a standard session does not provide enough time

  • Clients who need a more comprehensive, extended session

Not sure which service to choose? Begin by booking the Structural Reset™. If your needs indicate that a more intensive service would be appropriate, that can be discussed before future sessions.

Ready for a Different Kind of Massage?

You do not need another routine that temporarily works around the tension.

The Structural Reset™ provides thoughtful, personalized care based on what you report, what I observe, and how your body responds throughout the session.

Your body has been adapting to keep you moving. Give it the time and attention it needs to reset.

4 hours: $950

2 hours: $595
90 minutes: $495

When a Standard Session Is Not Enough

The Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ is extended, highly focused bodywork for complex, severe, or long-standing tension patterns that require more time and concentrated attention than a standard Structural Reset™ can provide.

This is not simply a longer massage or an application of heavier pressure. Your session is carefully structured around your reported concerns, observable patterns, tissue response, comfort level, and how your body responds as the work progresses.

Starting at 90 minutes | $495 | Downtown Chicago

Designed for More Complex Needs

Some bodies need more than a standard session can reasonably provide.

Long-standing tension, significant restrictions, pronounced postural patterns, and multiple areas of compensation may require extended time to work thoroughly without rushing or forcing the body.

The Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ allows more time to examine how different areas of your body may be working together, address deeply established tension patterns, and adjust the session as your body responds.

This service may be appropriate for clients experiencing:

  • Severe or long-standing muscular tension

  • Multiple areas of restriction or discomfort

  • Pronounced postural patterns, including hyperkyphotic or hyperlordotic patterns

  • Significant limitations in comfortable movement

  • Complex compensation patterns affecting several areas of the body

  • Tension that has not responded adequately to standard massage sessions

  • Physical demands that require concentrated, extended care

This work remains non-diagnostic and is not a replacement for evaluation or treatment from a medical provider.


Intensive Does Not Mean Forceful

Deep work should not require your body to fight against the session.

The Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ is designed to work deeply and precisely without relying on unnecessary pain, excessive pressure, or force.

Pressure and technique are adjusted throughout the session according to your comfort, tissue response, and nervous-system response. When the body begins to guard or resist, the approach changes.

The objective is not to overpower your body. It is to create enough time and precision to work with it.

You don’t have to hurt to heal.


What to Expect During Your Intensive

Your session begins with a detailed conversation about your primary concerns, relevant history, current limitations, and what you hope to experience from the work.

As the session progresses, I observe how your body responds to touch, pressure, positioning, and movement. These responses guide the areas addressed, techniques used, and time spent in each region.

Your Structural Intensive may include:

  • Targeted deep-tissue techniques

  • Myofascial techniques

  • Slow, sustained compressions

  • Focused work around muscular attachment areas

  • Assisted stretching or mobility when appropriate

  • Nervous-system support and grounding techniques

  • Hot towels and customized pressure

  • Scalp and foot massage

  • The Meticulous Grounding Ritual

There is no predetermined sequence. The session develops according to what your body presents and how it responds that day.


Choose the Time Your Body Requires

90-Minute Structural Intensive — $495

Concentrated work for a significant primary concern or a limited number of closely connected areas requiring greater focus than a standard Structural Reset™.

120-Minute Structural Intensive — $595

Extended work for complex or long-standing concerns involving multiple connected areas. This option provides more time to work thoroughly while allowing the body to respond without rushing.

Three-Hour Structural Intensive — $795

Comprehensive structural bodywork for extensive patterns affecting multiple regions of the body. Appropriate when the work requires substantial time, careful pacing, and planned transitions throughout the session.

Four-Hour Structural Intensive — $950

The most comprehensive Structural Intensive offered. Designed for highly involved cases requiring extensive time, focused attention, careful pacing, and appropriate breaks.

Service length does not determine how much pressure will be used. It determines how much time is available to work carefully and comprehensively.

Book Your Structural Intensive™


Structural Reset™ or Structural Intensive?

Choose the Structural Reset™ when you need personalized, full-body care for recurring tension, restricted movement, physical fatigue, or compensation patterns that can be addressed within a standard 90-minute session.

Choose the Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ when your concerns are more severe, complex, or long-standing—or when several areas require concentrated attention that cannot reasonably fit within a standard session.

If you are new to Meticulous Massage® and uncertain which service is appropriate, you may begin with the Structural Reset™. If your body would benefit from a more extensive service, that can be discussed based on what is observed during your care.


What You May Notice After Your Intensive

Every body responds differently. The effects of an extended session may continue to develop after you leave.

Clients may notice:

  • Reduced muscular tension

  • Greater ease or freedom of movement

  • Less heaviness or restriction

  • Increased awareness of connected tension patterns

  • A more open or balanced feeling through the body

  • Deep physical and nervous-system relaxation

Temporary tenderness or fatigue may occur following concentrated bodywork. Give your body time to rest, hydrate normally, and observe how you feel over the following days.

Long-standing patterns may benefit from consistent care rather than a single intensive session.


This Service May Not Be Appropriate for Everyone

The Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ may not be suitable when deep or extended bodywork is contraindicated, when symptoms require medical evaluation, or when your body would be better served by a gentler approach.

Please share relevant health conditions, recent procedures, injuries, medications, and changes in your health when completing your intake form.

If your needs fall outside the scope of massage therapy, you may be encouraged to consult an appropriate licensed healthcare provider before receiving service.


Give Your Body the Time the Work Requires

Complex tension cannot always be addressed responsibly within a routine appointment.

The Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ provides the time, concentration, and responsive care needed to work with more involved patterns without treating your body like a problem to overpower.

Your body has adapted to keep you functioning. This session creates space to understand those adaptations and support greater ease, safety, and freedom.

Wellness Enhancements

Support the Way Your Body Resets

Wellness enhancements allow you to personalize your Meticulous Massage® experience with additional warmth, light, restoration, or focused care.

Each enhancement serves a distinct purpose and may be added according to your preferences, comfort, and the type of support your body needs that day.

Enhancements do not replace your Structural Reset™ or Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™. They complement the care you receive.


Full-Spectrum Infrared Sauna

The full-spectrum infrared sauna provides a private, quiet space to settle your body through therapeutic warmth.

Unlike a traditional sauna that primarily heats the surrounding air, infrared heat directly warms the body at a lower ambient temperature. This may support relaxation, circulation, temporary relief from muscular stiffness, and an overall sense of physical ease.

An infrared sauna session may be used before massage to help the body warm and settle or enjoyed separately as part of a personal wellness routine.

Individual responses to heat vary. Please disclose relevant health conditions, medications, pregnancy, recent procedures, or heat sensitivity before using the sauna.

Reserve an Infrared Sauna Session


Red-Light Therapy

Red-light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to provide noninvasive support for the body.

A session may be used to complement massage, support general recovery, or create a quiet period of rest before or after structural bodywork.

Red-light therapy does not involve ultraviolet light and should not produce the heat associated with an infrared sauna.

15-minute enhancement | $50

Add Red-Light Therapy


Hot-Stone Enhancement

Smooth, heated stones are incorporated into your massage to provide sustained warmth and help the body settle into the work.

The stones are used intentionally within your customized session—not as a separate, predetermined hot-stone routine. Heat and placement are adjusted according to your comfort and the areas being addressed.

This enhancement may be especially supportive when your body feels cold, guarded, overworked, or slow to relax.

$50 enhancement

Add Hot Stones to Your Reset


Waterfall Foot Renewal

The Waterfall Foot Renewal is a restorative foot treatment designed to soften, refresh, and renew tired feet.

This enhancement includes exfoliation and focused care for the feet, making it especially supportive for clients who spend long hours standing, walking, traveling, or wearing restrictive footwear.

It complements the foot massage already included with Meticulous Massage® sessions while providing a more complete renewal experience.

$60 enhancement

Add the Waterfall Foot Renewal


Included in Every Massage Session

Every Structural Reset™ and Structural Intensive Deep Tissue™ already includes thoughtful details intended to support your comfort and overall experience.

Your session includes:

  • Customized pressure

  • Hot towels

  • Scalp massage

  • Foot massage

  • Your choice of scented or unscented massage oil

  • Personalized table temperature, lighting, and music when available

  • The Meticulous Grounding Ritual

Wellness enhancements provide additional options beyond what is already included.


Important Considerations

Not every enhancement is appropriate for every person.

Please provide complete and current health information before receiving infrared sauna, red-light therapy, hot stones, or other heat-based services. Certain medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, recent procedures, or heat sensitivity may require modification or medical clearance.

All enhancements are offered within the professional scope of massage and general wellness services. They are not medical treatment and are not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent any condition.


Personalize Your Reset

Your body’s needs may change from one appointment to the next.

Choose the enhancement that supports the experience you need—whether that means warmth, light, restoration, or additional focused care.

A Meaningful Way to Care for Your People

The people who keep an organization moving often carry the physical effects of demanding schedules, repetitive tasks, prolonged sitting, extended standing, and workplace stress.

Corporate chair massage gives employees, guests, or community members a dedicated moment to step away from those demands and receive focused physical care.

Chair massage can be incorporated into:

  • Employee wellness programs

  • Staff-appreciation events

  • Teacher-appreciation events

  • Corporate conferences and meetings

  • Church and ministry events

  • Healthcare and professional workplaces

  • Community wellness events

  • Retreats and special occasions

  • Convention and exhibitor experiences


What Participants Can Expect

Chair massage is performed while the participant remains fully clothed and comfortably seated in a professional massage chair.

Sessions commonly focus on areas affected by desk work, repetitive activity, standing, travel, and daily stress, including:

  • Neck

  • Shoulders

  • Upper back

  • Arms

  • Hands

Each session is adjusted according to the participant’s comfort, stated concerns, available time, and response to the work.

Massage oil is not required, making chair massage easy to incorporate into a workplace or event without requiring participants to change clothing.


More Than a Predetermined Routine

Even within a brief chair-massage session, every person receives individualized attention.

Participants arrive with different concerns, work demands, comfort levels, and pressure preferences. The session is adjusted within the available time instead of applying the same sequence to everyone.

That is the Meticulous difference.

Precision Changes Everything.


Session Length and Event Flow

Individual session length can be structured according to the number of participants, total event time, and goals of the organization.

Shorter sessions allow more people to participate, while longer sessions provide additional time for focused care.

Before the event, we will establish:

  • Individual session length

  • Estimated participant capacity

  • Appointment or sign-up structure

  • Total service time

  • Setup and transition time

  • Space and accessibility requirements

  • On-site contact and arrival instructions

Planning these details in advance helps participants move through the experience smoothly and keeps the event on schedule.


What the Organization Provides

The organization should provide:

  • A clean, quiet, and accessible indoor area

  • Enough space for the massage chair and safe movement around it

  • Reasonable distance from loud speakers, heavy foot traffic, or active food service

  • Access to the event location before the scheduled start time

  • A designated on-site contact

  • Parking, loading, security, and building-access instructions

Meticulous Massage® provides the professional massage chair and supplies required to perform the service.


Corporate Chair Massage Pricing

Corporate chair massage is available at:

$350 per hour

The number of participants accommodated will depend on the session length selected for each person and the total number of service hours reserved.

All corporate chair massage requests and inquiries must be submitted by email.

Please include:

  • Organization or event name

  • Event date

  • Event location

  • Requested service hours

  • Estimated number of participants

  • Preferred session length, if known

  • On-site contact information

  • Parking, loading, security, or building-access instructions

Professional, Scope-Appropriate Care

Participants may be asked to provide brief health and safety information before receiving chair massage.

Massage may be adjusted or declined when a participant has a health concern, recent injury, procedure, illness, or another condition that makes massage inappropriate.

Corporate chair massage is offered as a professional massage and general wellness service. It is not medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent any condition.


Give Your Team a Real Opportunity to Reset

Employee appreciation should feel meaningful.

Bring focused, professional care directly to the people who support your business, organization, congregation, school, or community.

Corporate chair massage is available for $350 per hour. All requests and inquiries must be submitted by email.
