FAQ: Why do housecalls cost more?

Q: Why do housecalls cost more? An hour of massage is an hour of massage no matter where I get it.

A: Housecalls take (depending on where you live) almost 2 to 2.5 times more time, plus gas, plus wear and tear on our equipment and our vehicle.

While you are paying for an hour massage, you're actually paying for the amount of time that we spend on your massage. That includes time to go to the office, get our equipment loaded in our car, drive to your place, unload it and set it up, go through the intake process with you, get you on the table, perform the massage, wait until you're dressed, take the equipment down, load it back in the car, drive back to the office, and set up the equipment there.

We don't charge that much for the non-massage time.

An office massage for an hour: $65
Basic service area housecall: $85

That's only $20 more for about an extra hour to ninety minutes of our time. Plus gas, etc.

The furthest service area we do, which is about a 45 minute drive, is only $50 more. That covers almost an extra two hours on top of the massage time.

We feel that it's reasonable and may even increase our rates slightly soon to cover the increased cost of gas.
