How the session is structured
Every Lawrence Signature Massage begins with a focused intake and hands-on assessment of soft tissue findings so the therapist can prioritize work. The therapist uses a range of techniques and modalities selected for each client’s presentation rather than applying a fixed routine, which shapes how time and attention are allocated across the body.
This service is scheduled for 150 MINUTES and priced at $240, which allows time for the intake, assessment, sustained hands-on work, and an appropriate closeout. Appointments in Downtown Silver Spring are timed for commuters and local residents, making it possible to book before or after transit connections at the Silver Spring Metro Station.
What to expect physically
Expect pressure, pacing and modality choices to be adjusted during the session based on what the therapist finds and what you report. The therapist will check in about comfort and focus areas; the work may shift from broader warming strokes to more focused soft tissue approaches as needed to address those findings.
Draping, clear communication and client preference guide the session. There is time built into the 150 MINUTES for focused work on several areas if necessary, and for brief rest or repositioning. After the session the therapist may offer general self-care suggestions appropriate to the work completed.
Choosing this extended session
The longer 150 MINUTES format is a practical decision when you want a comprehensive, tailored session that can address multiple regions or recurring soft tissue patterns in one visit. The trade-off is scheduling: longer appointments are less flexible than shorter ones, so plan to reserve a block of time in your day.
Many clients pair this extended appointment with local plans—an evening at the AFI Silver Theatre or a Sligo Creek walk—because Fresh Start’s evening and weekend availability fits busy routines. The location on Georgia Avenue in Downtown Silver Spring makes it convenient for transit-oriented commuters and local families to combine wellness with other activities.
