Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1:Will this help with migraines too?

While migraines are neurological, massage can significantly reduce the triggers (like stress and neck tension) that cause them, often reducing frequency and intensity.

Question 2:Do you massage the scalp?

Yes! Scalp massage is a key part of this treatment. It helps release the tight fascia covering the head, which provides immediate relief for many clients.

Question 3:Is this safe if I have neck issues?

Absolutely. We use safe, controlled pressure. We do not perform rapid adjustments or "cracking" (like a chiropractor); we simply relax the soft tissue.

Question 4:How often should I come in?

Some clients come in weekly during stressful periods, while others find a monthly maintenance session helps prevent flare-ups.

Peony Massage is your local massage therapy center in Kirkland, WA offering Swedish, Deep Tissue, Couples, and Combo massages 7 days a week.
