Extra Focus: Exactly Where You Need It

You know that feeling when you’re getting a massage and thinking, “This is great, but my lower back is what really needs it today?”

We heard that. A lot. 

This is our #1 most requested feature! When we asked our members what would make their Aescape experience better, one thing kept coming up: "Can I get more time on my lower back?" "What about my shoulders?" "I wish it spent longer on my hamstrings." They weren't asking for a different massage, they were asking for a massage that actually takes care of their body's needs on that specific day.

So we built Extra Focus, and honestly? It's one of those "why didn't this exist already?" moments.

Your Massage, Your Call

Here's how it works: Before your session starts, we ask a simple question—which area needs extra attention today? Lower back tight from your desk setup? Calves destroyed from finally returning to leg day? Shoulders living up by your ears?

Pick your trouble spot from five options: upper back and shoulders, lower back, hips & glutes, hamstrings, or calves. Aescape will dedicate extra time there toward the end of your session, when your muscles are warmed up and ready for deeper work. 

But the fan favorite is that halfway through, we check in again. Because let's be honest, sometimes you don't know what you need until you're actually on the table. That "minor" hamstring tightness? Suddenly feels like the main event. You can switch your focus mid-massage, and Aescape instantly adjusts the plan. No awkward explanations needed. 

And if you're the "I don't know, just fix me" type? Skip the selection entirely. Aescape's default full-body plan is designed to give your whole body the recovery it deserves.

“I like that it ended with it. It’s kind of like the mindset of best for last, you know, like for dinner you save dessert for last.”
