Name a human that doesn’t ever want to relax (and your toddler, niece, and nephew don’t count!). All human beings instinctively want to feel pleasure and be happy- it’s just who we are. If you’re in New Jersey and are looking to wind down, AccuCare in Brick provides a variety of professional massages to make sure you’re feeling your very best.
Whether you’re a seasoned massage veteran or it’s your first time, your masseuse will have you fill out a form that asks you what you’re looking to get out of the session. After discussing your needs, they will suggest a specific massage that would be best suited for you and the types of techniques they will use.
Not sure what to wear? No worries! We always recommend showing up in a comfortable, loose fitting outfit, though we suggest undressing to a level that you are comfortable with. We provide you with a towel to wrap yourself in and then you will lay under a sheet on the table. Remember, a massage is meant to be relaxing and comfortable, so if you want to be fully clothed you are more than welcome!
How long will the massage last? It depends on how long you booked your session for. Our massages range from 30, 60, or even 90 minutes. The masseuse will ask you what level of pressure you would prefer before beginning, but you are never locked into any level of intensity. We always urge our guests to be vocal and let us know if they would like something harder, softer, or flat out different! At the end of the day the session is all about you and we tailor our experience to meet your needs.
