What to Expect During Your First Aescape Session

So, you booked your first Aescape massage session. (woooo!) If you’re wondering what actually happens when you show up—don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s way less intimidating than you think.

Here’s the vibe: Aescape is not your typical massage. You’ll be fully clothed in comfy Aescape apparel—no robes, no awkward wardrobe changes. And there’s no need to talk through your stress levels or muscle tension with anyone. Instead, you’ll step into a calming room, get settled on a beautifully designed massage table, and everything else happens right from the touchscreen in front of you.

The best part? It’s fully customizable. You pick the focus areas (upper back, glutes, hamstrings—whatever needs love), choose the level of pressure you’re into, and let the experience unfold. Whether you’re post-workout or just in desperate need of a moment to breathe, Aescape meets you where you are.

Not sure where to start? The 60 min Total Back, Glutes & Hamstrings Relief session is a solid go-to—it hits all the right spots.

So what does it feel like?

Honestly, like a wellness experience that somehow gets you without needing to ask a million questions first. It’s quiet, it's private, and you’re fully in control—no small talk, no pressure to “relax harder,” just space to check out for a bit.

And no, it’s not the same as a traditional Swedish massage—but it’s not trying to be. Aescape is part of a wellness routine. It’s for people who want consistent care that fits into their week without rearranging their life to get it.

If you’re into movement recovery or building better habits post-gym, this might be the one thing you’re missing. We even wrote about it here.

A few quick things to keep in mind:

• You stay fully clothed (yep, always)

• You control the pressure and focus areas

• The experience is all about you

• You’re in and out without oils

And yes, massage really can help you feel better. According to the Cleveland Clinic, massage can promote the release of serotonin and dopamine—those feel-good chemicals your brain loves.

So if you’ve been curious about Aescape—this is your sign.
