What Is the Average Price of a Massage? A Guide from The Mark of Massage

Assuming you’re asking about the average cost of a professional massage session (likely a standard 60-minute one, as that’s the most common length), here’s a clear breakdown based on current 2026 data. At The Mark of Massage in Castle Rock, Colorado, I’ve been providing high-quality therapeutic massage since 2004—whether deep tissue for lasting relief, sports massage for recovery after Colorado activities, trigger point therapy, prenatal, hot stone, Esalen, structural integration, or gentler relaxation styles. Prices vary by location, type, and setting, but here’s what the numbers show nationally and locally.

National Average in the US (2026)

The average cost for a 60-minute massage across the United States typically falls in the $60–$150 range, with most people paying around $75–$120 for a quality session from an experienced therapist.

•  Lower end ($60–$90): Often seen at chains, introductory offers, or basic Swedish/relaxation styles.

•  Mid-range ($90–$120): Common for therapeutic or specialized work from independent therapists.

•  Higher end ($120–$150+): For premium services, luxury spas, or add-ons like hot stones.

This comes from reliable industry sources tracking 2025–2026 trends, where costs have stayed fairly stable but can rise in high-demand areas due to therapist expertise and overhead.

In the Castle Rock / Denver Area (Colorado)

In suburban Colorado spots like Castle Rock (and nearby Denver metro), averages lean toward $90–$140 for a solid 60-minute therapeutic session. Mobile/in-home services (like mine, where I come to you within ~30 minutes of 216 Douglas Fir Ave, 80104) often add a small premium for convenience—typically $100–$150, reflecting travel, setup, and personalized care. Independent therapists with 20+ years of experience (like me!) tend to be in the mid-to-upper part of that range for deeper, results-focused work.

Factors that influence the price include:

•  Session length — 30 minutes: $40–$80; 90 minutes: $120–$200.

•  Type — Relaxation/Swedish: lower; Deep tissue/sports/therapeutic: higher due to advanced skills.

•  Setting — In-spa or clinic: sometimes cheaper; Mobile/in-home: higher for the added ease (no travel for you!).

•  Experience — Newer therapists might charge less; seasoned pros (20+ years) justify mid-to-higher rates with better outcomes.

Why Choose Quality Over the Lowest Price?

A great massage isn’t just about the clock—it’s about skilled hands that listen to your body and deliver real relief. At The Mark of Massage, I focus on therapeutic excellence with the ultimate convenience of in-home visits (or private sessions at my lower-level home office—fully secluded, though you might hear occasional family sounds from upstairs outside the room). Rates are transparent and set to reflect personalized care, expertise, and results.
