Sixty, Ninety, or Two Hours

The three lengths are not tiers of quality. A therapist does not work harder in the two-hour version. What changes is how much of you gets attention and how unhurried the pacing is.

Sixty minutes is the default and there is nothing apologetic about it. Realistically, an hour covers two or three regions properly. Lower back and hips, plus one more thing. It is the right choice if you know exactly where the problem is, if this is your first prenatal session and you want to see how it goes, or if the cost of the longer versions would turn this into a once-ever event instead of something you might repeat.

Ninety minutes is where most people land once they have been in a few times. The difference is not fifty percent more of the same. It is the ability to cover the back and hips without watching the clock, then still reach the shoulders, the legs, and the feet. If you are driving in from outside downtown, this is usually the one that justifies the trip.

Two hours is genuinely long. Some people love it and some find that lying in one arrangement for that stretch stops being comfortable somewhere in the second hour. If you have never done a two-hour massage before, pregnant or not, ninety is the safer experiment. If you have done one and liked it, this is the same thing done gently.

Then there is the extension. Half an hour added to any length for $50. Two things make it useful. First, you can decide once you are already on the table, which is the moment you actually know whether you want more. Second, it costs less than the gap between two booked lengths, so a sixty plus an extension is a reasonable route to ninety minutes of table time if that is how the schedule worked out. We check whether the room is open behind you before agreeing to it, so it is not guaranteed on a busy evening.

Booking longer than you can comfortably lie is a real mistake and worth avoiding. Position tolerance changes week to week during pregnancy. What was easy at twenty-six weeks may not be at thirty-eight. If you are unsure, book shorter and extend.

The prices attached are $105, $155, and $205 respectively. There is no discount for buying a longer one, because the price simply tracks the therapist's time.

One thing length does not change: the pressure and the approach stay the same across all three. A two-hour prenatal session is not deeper work, just more of it. If the goal is intensity rather than duration, length is the wrong lever and you should be talking to the therapist about pressure instead.

If you cannot decide on the phone, take the ninety. It is the one people wish they had booked when they took the sixty, and the one nobody regrets when they were considering the two hours.
