Massage Heights wants you to discover how great life can feel. On their website, they say that their mission “is to help people live better lives through regular massage and skin therapy.”

They have 113 locations across the country that specialize in providing custom massages with add-on treatments designed to meet the specific needs of each client. Many offer memberships to encourage ongoing and frequent wellness treatments. Some of the locations offer facial and other services to contribute to a health regimen.

Massage Heights is committed to caring for the planet and they use natural, hypoallergenic products during each treatment. As part of their commitment to providing custom treatments, they offer what hey call “Elevations” which re add-ons or aromatherapies to raise each service above the ordinary. 

In Indiana, there are three Massage Heights locations—one in Fishers, Carmel, and Indianapolis. We caught up with Lexi Althouse, a retreat director at Massage Heights Ironworks in Indianapolis, who shared what makes Massage Heights so special. 

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests love the welcoming atmosphere, quality of service, and the booking flexibility between the locations! From the moment a guest books an appointment to after the customized massage and everything in between, it is our mission to personalize the experience. Each person comes in with a unique focus area(s) or goal in mind, and we are here to give them the best wellness plan for their lifestyle. We believe in a therapeutic approach that helps with relaxation, mobility, and tension relief.

Key Features: Flexible hours (open Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sat/Sun 9 a.m.-7 p.m.); therapists of all backgrounds and tenure available; state-of the-art hydraulic, heated Oakworks tables; complimentary aromatherapy; no upcharge for customized modalities (i.e. deep tissue); modern, upscale design. 

Bonus: Guests can add our signature holiday Hot Stone Peppermint Foot Scrub to any service to refresh tired feet and help with inflammation and dry skin. Additionally, our therapists are equipped with treatments to help the guest at no extra cost, such as the Cranio Cradle. This soft device is placed underneath the occipitals and/or neck muscles to release tension.

Insider’s Tip: It’s best to communicate with your therapist if you need more or less pressure. Remember, your session is all about you!  

Splurge Treatment: A 90-minute or 120-minute Swedish massage with Hot Stone Therapy and the Hemp-Infused massage oil add-on. This treatment will melt your muscles and ease you of any pain, soreness, stress and anxiety. A 90-minute or 120-minute gives the therapist plenty of time to give you a full-body session while also targeting specific focus areas.

Unique Treatment: 1. A 60-minute or 90-minute Active Therapy Sports Massage with either Cold Stone Therapy or Dynamic Cupping to ease sore muscles and decrease inflammation. 2. A Swedish massage with lymphatic drainage techniques, and add Dry Brushing to increase blood flow and exfoliate the skin. 

Insider’s Favorite: The hot towel neck stretches are heavenly.

Wellness Offerings: We offer a variety of Wellness Programs and products for the guest to continue their wellness routine! Our Wellness Program includes a 60-minute customizable massage each month for $69.99. Members receive an additional 50% off of additional services and the ability to book on our Massage Heights mobile app. Our team is encouraged to get their free monthly massage to stay healthy and sharp with their body mechanics. 

Featured Products: 1. Heights at Home Linen Sprays, Oils, and Bath Salts offered in Relax (lavender), Breathe (eucalyptus), Revive (lemongrass), and Energize (rosemary) aromatherapies. 2. Pure Hemp Infused line offered in ingestible oil tinctures, muscle cooling lotion, and a 1000mg salve. 

COVID Safety: Massage Heights is dedicated to keeping our team members and guests safe. We ensure safety by prescreening our guests and team members each day, providing fresh and clean linens for each guest, disinfecting all touched surfaces in the lobby and treatment rooms, providing masks and sanitation stations, and by following the CDC guidelines.
