What length of massage should I book?!
Question: What length of massage should I book.?
I see places listing massages in 20, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 minute intervals (of increasing prices.) I want to walk out feeling relaxed and want to know how long I should go for.

It takes 50-60 minutes for a proper full massage. Because of the work you do and your problem areas, your best bet is a 60 minute full massage and ask the therapist to focus on your problem areas but still do a full massage.
Once you have done that, then you can decide if you prefer longer or shorter for the next time. Health Question & Answer

A 90 minute is just right if you are wanting a full body massage with special attention to your back and neck. If you have never had a massage before I then recommend only 1 hour so it doesn't knock you for a loop and scare you off from further massages.
I do hour massages daily and give extra attention to what is aligning my clients on that particular day. They get a fast full body massage if I need to address a certain area longer than the rest. 90 minutes has proved to be the best amount of time fro my clients if they want everything worked on and then final attention to the trouble areas.
You should be super relaxed and rejuvenated after a 90 min.
One more thing.... if you are ever uncomfortable with your massage therapist its time to find a new one. You want to go to your therapist with anticipation rather than a down feeling. I tell this to all my clients!!

I would suggest 60 minutes. Since both your back and neck are painful I don't think anything less would allow enough time for the therapist to cover both areas sufficiently. If you haven't had a massage before anything longer may be too much and you may be sore the next day.Health Question & Answer
I would say the 60 at least and if they offer a whirl pool bath take it you will already start to relax, even before you get the massage, Biggest thing to remember you deserve it. Than when your ready give the 90 min a try. Health Question & Answer
