Long drives on 17-92, hours in a chair, weekend yard work: the lower back takes a lot. A focused massage may help ease that tightness, and our Longwood spa is about 20 minutes north of Winter Park.
The short answer
Massage may help relieve lower back tension by relaxing tight muscles and easing knots that build up from sitting, driving and lifting. For stubborn tightness, book a 60-minute deep tissue massage ($150) or stretch sport massage ($129). Tell your therapist where it hurts and how much pressure feels right.
Book your massage and give your back an hour of real attention.
Why the lower back tightens up
Sitting for long stretches keeps the hips flexed and the muscles along the spine working to hold you upright. Add a commute, a desk day and carrying groceries, and those muscles can stay tense well after you get home. A Florida-licensed massage therapist can work into those areas with pressure matched to you.
Which massage to book
Deep tissue massage
Slow, firm, focused pressure on the areas that hold tension. $150 for 60 minutes, $180 for 90.
Stretch sport massage
Stretching, compressions and deep tissue techniques combined. A great choice if your back feels stiff and you’d like to move more easily. $129 for 60 minutes, $159 for 90.
Relaxation massage
Prefer lighter pressure? Our relaxation massage is $120 for 60 minutes, and your therapist can spend extra time on your back.
First time with us? The 60-minute Introductory Relaxation Massage with hot stones is $89.
Add-ons for a tight back
Hot stones warm tight muscles and deepen relaxation. Trigger point therapy focuses on stubborn knots. Arnica muscle repair soothes overworked muscles. Enhancements start at $20, and a targeted CBD balm is $30.
What your session looks like
Every massage starts with a short conversation about pressure, problem areas and how you want to feel afterward. You stay draped the whole time, and pressure can be adjusted at any point. Afterward, drink water and take a few minutes before driving home.
How often to come in
For ongoing tightness, every 2 to 3 weeks tends to work well at first, then once a month to keep things easy. Our Rejuvenate membership includes a 60-minute relaxation massage every month, and Revive saves you 15% on day spa services. See every option on our massage page.
If you have an injury or a medical condition, check with your doctor before booking.
