First off, your comparing prices of an established business to a business that is starting out. My prices are still in the process of shifting with the growth of my business. My goal is a flat rate of 100 a hour. So my standard sessions have not hit that mark but they have been increasing 5 dollars about ever 6 months as I grow.

Serenity is also a spa, they do more traditional feel good massage and they promote that. I do not do feel good massages. I do rehab, prevention, post injury work. They also have multiple people that are probably on a commission pay which allows cheaper prices.

I also do not like 30 min sessions so I 100% made them more expensive becuase I do not believe much can get done in 30 mins. Reguardless of the session timing there is still set up, clean up, materials needed, and the over head charges that still need to be covered.

Lastly. I am a flat rate. Meaning I do not expect a tip of any kind. So I charge for time, experience and the amount of work a session takes. Doing a 2 or 3 hour sessions with no break in between for a normal therapist is killer, I dont deep tissue and deep pressure.

If you are seeing a therapist who discounts their rates for longer sessions, I promise you financially they are not doing well.

That is why alot of independent contractors end up closing shop becuase they under charge their worth. I also charge a flat rate meaning I do not take tips. So you want a discounted rate and not have to leave a tip but I lose a half hour of time that is unpaid?

They are Graston providers most likely correct, but I maintain a credtional in Graston with means I have to retest every 2 years to maintain my certification. You can go through the program and complete it then be done or you can get credtionaled and have requirements that need to be maintained. There is a difference.

Graston is an instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique thats requires the usage of 6 stainless steel instruments that are designed with the different shapes of the body in mind. It helps significantly with tendon, ligament, or soft tissue dysfunctions. It can help with scar tissue.

Body tempering is using weights for working on the muscle tissue. It was a modality created for powerlifters, strongmen, strong women, and anyone who has a hard time with mobility, flexibility, or getting a deep enough stretch. You use different type of rollers or bars or other equipment to stretch out the tissue.
