This upgrade uses topical arnica to reduce aches and inflammation, or deep muscle therapy combining warmed oil with Biofreeze for penetrating relief. Therapists target tight muscles to relieve tension, decrease swelling, and improve circulation for faster recovery and increased mobility.

Many clients feel immediate reduction in soreness and improved mobility lasting 24–72 hours. Benefits can be cumulative—regular sessions, stretching, hydration, and rest extend relief. Chronic tension may require a series of treatments for longer-lasting improvements.

Yes—this upgrade is available with most massage modalities as an add-on. Your therapist will confirm it suits your treatment goals and medical history. Certain conditions (open wounds, severe circulatory disorders, specific medications) may preclude use, so please disclose health concerns beforehand.

Deep work can feel intense when releasing tight knots, but therapists adjust pressure for comfort. Heated oil soothes while Biofreeze provides cooling relief to reduce pain. Communicate openly—pressure and techniques are customized to keep therapy effective yet tolerable.

Avoid use if you have a known arnica allergy, open wounds, active infection, or severe skin conditions. Discuss anticoagulant medications, recent surgery, pregnancy, or circulatory disorders with your therapist—some situations may require alternative treatments for safety.
