A Peek Into Our Industry: The Cost of Massage Therapy
Medical costs are rising across the board, and small businesses often have to work much harder to keep up. Let’s examine where the costs come from, and how we can keep services as affordable as possible.
The service fees we charge must sustain all of the following (click on a topic to learn more):
So what does this mean for the client?
That’s a lot of cost to pass on to clients- Especially when most insurance companies have either not caught up with the science backing the physical and emotional health benefits of massage therapy, or they claim to pay for services but make billing extremely difficult on the therapist. Sometimes that looks like waiting 6+ months and multiple hours on the phone to receive payment for a singular service, which is just not sustainable for most small businesses.
We completely understand how needed our services are, but also how difficult it can be to financially access massage therapy. That’s why Sanctuary Repose’s unique service menu and pricing structure is layered in a way that where cost breaks can happen for the client, they will.
Services that use less products, less of the practitioner’s energy, or less equipment are offered at a lower cost. Enhancements and add ons are also free or reasonably priced based on the above resources. This allows you as the client to prioritize your needs and build the service how you want it, without spending money on things that you don’t need.
You might also notice that a 2-hour session has a cheaper per-minute rate than shorter sessions. We prorate longer services because giving one 2-hour session means one less set of notes and clean up than two 1-hour sessions. This is money that we can save you, and so we do.
Our unique cost saving Promotions also allow various ways to make some of the industry’s most affordable service prices even lower, so that you can come back often enough for the maintenance that your body needs. This includes First Time discounts, rotating Career-Based discounts, Recovery Plan sliding scales with a weekly or more frequent commitment, buying bulk services in bundles for cheaper (ask about financing options), membership discounts, points earned for each service to redeem for future services, Financial Aid Tokens, and more.

We plan to keep doing what we can to make sure you can access the services you need, and we are always fighting the systems around us to help our clients break-free and flourish. Right now our financial structure is pretty unique, but as long as we are helping people, we can only hope other businesses will start giving similar options.
