SUNSHINE BODYWORK GUIDES

Before Your Session

A thoughtful beginning to your personalized care.

Before your session, you are welcome to share your preferred pressure, areas of tension or discomfort, and any areas you would like us to focus on. Let us know if you prefer lighter pressure or would like a particular area avoided.

You do not need to arrive with a detailed plan each time. You may choose full-body care and let us adapt the focus to the tension we encounter and your comfort, or tell us which areas you would like prioritized.

Please tell us before your session if there is important information we should take into account, including medical conditions or ongoing health concerns, medications, pregnancy, injuries or surgery you are recovering from, wounds or skin conditions, and allergies or sensitivities. Please also identify any areas that need extra care, lighter pressure, or should be avoided. This helps us consider whether the session is appropriate and tailor your care.

During your session, you can ask us to change the pressure, pause, or skip a technique at any time.

Choosing Your Session Length

Find the right amount of time for you.

We offer sessions from 60 to 180 minutes, depending on the service. Choose a length that fits what you need and the areas you would like us to focus on.

60 Minutes · A Welcoming Introduction

New to Thai Combination, Deep Tissue, or another treatment? We recommend starting with 60 minutes. You can try the treatment, get to know our style of care, and see how it feels for you. It is a welcoming way to begin, with a budget that feels comfortable for a first visit.

90 Minutes · Time to Unwind or Focus

For relaxation: Enjoy full-body care from head to toe at a relaxed pace. You have time to settle in, let go, and enjoy the care without feeling rushed.

For focused bodywork: We recommend 90 minutes if you would like us to focus on about two areas. This gives us time to care for your main tight spots and nearby areas when needed. If many areas feel tight, we will choose the most important ones with you. There may not be time to give every area the same attention.

120 Minutes · A More Complete Experience

For relaxation: Give yourself more time to fully relax. We can spend longer on each area from head to toe, so you can enjoy a slower pace and a fuller sense of rest for your body and mind.

For focused bodywork: We recommend 120 minutes if you would like us to focus on about three or more areas. We have more time for each tight spot and other areas that may need care. For example, if your shoulders feel tight, we may also care for your arms if they feel tight too. We adjust the session to your needs and comfort.

180 Minutes · More Time for Tight Areas

We recommend 180 minutes if you would like us to focus on about five or more areas, such as your neck, shoulders and upper back, lower back, hips, and legs. This may suit you if these areas have felt tight or uncomfortable for a long time and you want more time for each one.

We have time to work slowly on your main tight spots and care for nearby areas when needed. We adjust how we work, the pace, and the pressure based on how you feel throughout the session. The aim is to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable overall. A longer session does not mean stronger pressure.

Choosing Your Bodywork Service

Find the care that feels right for you.

You do not need to understand every technique before booking. Start with your main goal: relaxation, stretching and mobility, focused bodywork, recovery support, or a combination of these.

Thai Combination Energy Treatment

Best for body tension, stretching, and mobility. A more active full-body experience combining bodywork, assisted stretching, and movement. This may suit clients who feel stiff or tense and enjoy stretching and mobility work alongside focused attention to priority areas.

Deep Healing Energy Therapy

Best for focused, detailed bodywork. Designed for clients who prefer concentrated attention to particular areas of body tension. The session is adjusted to your comfort and individual needs, with greater emphasis on focused bodywork and less emphasis on stretching.

Therapeutic Energy Alignment

Best for personalized, targeted wellness. A session for clients who would like additional attention to particular areas, movement comfort, or individual wellness goals. The approach may be adjusted throughout the session based on your comfort and response.

Swedish Energy Balance

Best for relaxation and everyday tension. A calming full-body experience with gentle attention to areas that feel tired or tense. It may suit clients seeking relaxation after prolonged sitting, computer work, repetitive activity, or a busy routine.

Thai Yoga Stretch Therapy

Best for stretching, flexibility, and mobility. A full-body session focused primarily on assisted stretching and movement without oil-based bodywork. The session is adapted to your flexibility and comfort level and may suit clients who feel stiff or want more comfortable movement.

Sunshine Signature Relaxation Ritual

Best for full-body relaxation, warmth, and a luxurious wellness experience. A carefully designed session using warmth, nourishing oils, and complementary wellness elements. The focus is comfort and renewal for clients who want to slow down and unwind.

Sports Recovery Bodywork

Best for active bodies, mobility, and recovery support. Designed for clients with active lifestyles or physically demanding routines. The session combines bodywork, stretching, and mobility-focused techniques to support comfortable movement, flexibility, and a sense of physical recovery.

Understanding Your Muscle Tension

Choose care based on how your body feels.

Muscles can feel tight after hard work or repeated movements, and stress can also leave your body feeling tense. These experiences can overlap. The following suggestions are for anyone who feels this way, whether or not you work in an office.

Tightness from repeated use

If your muscles have felt tight for a long time after physical work or repeated daily tasks, we suggest starting with focused care for those areas. Our Office Syndrome Bodywork uses oil-based hands-on work, without assisted stretching, to give tight muscles slow, careful attention. Despite its name, this service is not limited to office workers.

Tension during stressful times

If you notice your body feeling tense during busy or stressful times, we suggest Thai Yoga Stretch Therapy or Sports Recovery Bodywork. These sessions include assisted stretching and movement, giving you time to stretch, move, and relax. The pace and range of movement are adjusted to your comfort.

When both feel familiar

If you have long-standing muscle tightness as well as tension during stressful times, we suggest Thai Combination Energy Treatment. This session brings together hands-on bodywork, oil-based care, and assisted stretching, with attention to the areas that need it most. We adjust the balance to your needs and comfort.

How Long Should You Wait Between Treatments?

Find a routine that fits your body and your budget.

When work and daily tasks keep using the same muscles, tightness can return between visits. Regular bodywork can be part of a routine for relaxation and comfort, alongside rest and comfortable movement.

Every Two Weeks · Our Suggested Starting Point

For clients with everyday tension that keeps coming back, we suggest starting with a visit every two weeks. This gives us regular time to care for tight areas and offers a practical balance between ongoing care, time, and budget. We can adjust the schedule based on how you feel between visits.

Every Week · More Regular Time for Yourself

If your schedule and budget allow, and your body responds well, weekly visits may suit you if you prefer more regular care. They offer a frequent chance to unwind and give attention to areas that feel overworked. The aim is to support your comfort through a busy routine, rather than waiting until tightness becomes difficult to manage.

Once a Month · A Regular Check-In

Monthly visits can be a good way to keep self-care in your routine, especially when time or budget is limited or you need less frequent care. If tightness returns well before your next visit, we can discuss whether a shorter gap would suit you.

A Care Plan for Long-Standing Tightness

Start with regular care, then find a rhythm that suits you.

If muscle tightness has built up over a year or more, you may prefer a closer routine at first. Our suggested approach gives us regular time to care for the areas that need attention and check how you feel between visits.

Start with Weekly Visits

If bodywork is suitable for you, we suggest starting with one session a week for at least three weeks, then reviewing how you feel. This is a starting plan, rather than a set time for tightness to ease. Some people may need a different pace or a longer period of care. We adjust the plan to your comfort and how your body responds.

Move to Every Two Weeks as You Feel Better

Once the tightness has eased and you feel more comfortable between visits, we can consider moving to one session every two weeks. This keeps regular care in your routine while giving attention to tension that may build up again through work and daily life.
