How Much Does a 1-Hour Massage Cost? A Guide from The Mark of Massage (Castle Rock, CO)
Wondering about the price of a quality 60-minute massage in 2026? At The Mark of Massage, we’ve been delivering personalized, therapeutic massage therapy since 2004 now in Castle Rock, Colorado. With expertise in deep tissue, sports massage, trigger point therapy, Esalen, prenatal, hot stone, structural integration, and more, we focus on real relief for everything from chronic tension and sports recovery to everyday stress.
The cost of a 1-hour massage varies based on location, type of massage, therapist experience, and whether it’s in a spa, clinic, or convenient mobile/in-home setup like ours. Here’s a clear breakdown to help you know what to expect.
National and Colorado Averages in 2026
Across the United States, a standard 60-minute massage typically ranges from $60 to $150, with most people paying around $75–$120 for a quality session. This includes common styles like Swedish (relaxation-focused) or therapeutic options.
• In more suburban or mid-range areas like Castle Rock and Douglas County, prices often fall in the $80–$130 range for a skilled, experienced therapist.
• Luxury spas or chain locations (e.g., Elements Massage or Hand & Stone in the area) can push toward the higher end, sometimes $100+.
• Specialized therapeutic work—like deep tissue, sports, or structural integration—tends to be on the upper side due to the advanced skills involved.
Mobile or in-home services (our primary offering!) often add a premium for the convenience of coming to you—no driving, no traffic, just relaxation in your own space. Many clients in Castle Rock appreciate this, especially after a day hiking, working, or chasing kids around.
What Influences the Cost?
Several factors play into pricing:
• Therapist Experience: With 20+ years in the field, independent therapists like me bring deep expertise that justifies rates reflecting value and results.
• Type of Massage: Lighter relaxation styles might be lower; deeper therapeutic modalities (e.g., trigger point or sports) often cost more for the targeted relief.
• Setting: In-home/mobile adds travel/setup time; visiting our private lower-level home office (at 216 Douglas Fir Ave, 80104) in Castle Rock keeps things straightforward and private (sessions are fully secluded, though you might hear occasional family sounds from upstairs outside the room).
• Add-Ons: Things like hot stones or extended focus areas can increase the price slightly.
• Packages or Frequency: Regular clients often get better value through multi-session deals.
In our Castle Rock area, expect quality 60-minute sessions from experienced providers to land in the $90–$150 ballpark, especially for mobile therapeutic work.
Why Invest in a Quality Massage?
A great session isn’t just about the time—it’s about skilled hands that listen to your body and deliver lasting results. Whether you’re dealing with desk strain, post-workout soreness, pregnancy discomfort, or just need to unwind, the right massage pays off in better mobility, less pain, and more energy.
At The Mark of Massage, we prioritize therapeutic excellence with the added bonus of ultimate convenience (in-home within ~30 minutes of our Castle Rock base, or come to us). Rates are set to reflect the personalized care, expertise, and effort—always transparent and worth it.
