Massage Therapy Albuquerque
A massage built for what your body needs, today.
Massage Therapy Services
Don't settle for a massage that skips the thing that's actually wrong! Whether that's an old injury, a C-section scar, or tension that keeps returning to the same two spots, Massage at Blue Sky builds the session around your body, and what you need on the day you visit us.
Swedish massage at Blue Sky will relieve your pain and tension to help you unwind and completely relax, while head and neck tension release and medical massage bring goal-oriented testing that finds what's really driving the pain. Scar tissue massage works gently on old injuries and surgical scars until the tissue moves the way it used to, and postpartum massage is paced around your recovery rather than a fixed timeline.
Every session can be fully clothed, and you're told what's happening and why at each step. With Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia National Laboratories anchoring a large share of the workforce nearby, from long-serving veterans to lab and desk-bound engineers, old injuries and surgical repairs are some of what our practice sees the most.

Swedish Massage in Albuquerque
Every session starts the same way: Lauretta assesses your whole body first, feeling for where the tension actually exists before she starts any work. From there, Swedish massage's long, flowing strokes ease the tension and pain at a comforting pace, which is exactly what Bernalillo's largely older client base tends to ask for. It's the traditional side of massage done in a calm, unhurried environment.
Scar Tissue Massage in Albuquerque
A client's shoulder wouldn't respond no matter which muscle Lauretta tried, until the other side dropped two inches on contact. The cause was an old injury: tissue that heals from a cut or tear grows back tangled instead of running in one clean direction, which is why the same spot can stay tight for years. It's the kind of asymmetric pattern Corrales riders carry from years in the saddle, one hip or shoulder pulled tighter than the other.
Medical Massage in Albuquerque
Too many people hear "medical massage" and brace for pain, expecting hard exercises and rough stretching before the relief kicks in. Mary tests your range of motion, works the area, then retests to see what actually changed, sending you home with stretches to hold the results. It's precise enough that other healthcare providers in Los Alamos refer their own patients here.
Fully Clothed Massage in Albuquerque
Massage draping should never be an afterthought. Every therapist at Massage at Blue Sky tells you upfront what's happening and works around whatever you keep on, from a fully clothed session to just underwear, or full undress. You decide what comes off, because providing you a safe, comforting space and a positive experience is our primary goal.
Postpartum Massage in Albuquerque
After a C-section, timing and technique decide whether a massage helps or hurts. Jonathan works fully clothed, checking scars and adhesions for the tension they leave behind rather than running a standard routine over sore muscles. Many new parents from communities all over the city, including Rio Rancho's Rust Medical Center birthing unit, drive into central Albuquerque to have our therapists treat a postpartum body the right way.
Head & Neck Tension Release Massage in Albuquerque
One client came in on the third day of a migraine, and forty-five minutes of cranial work later, it was gone. Mary works the neck, shoulders, and base of the skull together, since tension headaches rarely stay in just one spot. It hits hardest for East Mountains commuters, who add a highway drive often on top of hauling firewood and water at high altitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear during my massage, and will I have to undress?
It depends on which therapist you see. Jonathan and Mary work with you fully clothed for their orthopedic and root-cause sessions, since many people carry some hesitation around undressing. Lauretta works to whatever level of comfort feels right for you, whether that means staying dressed or draping under a sheet for parts of the session. Either way, you'll know what to expect before you're on the table.
How do I know if I need a relaxation massage or a therapeutic massage?
Some people come in wanting to unwind and quiet their mind. Others come in with a specific issue, like a stiff shoulder, an old injury, or pain that hasn't resolved on its own. If you're looking to relax and recharge, Lauretta's sessions are built for that. If you're working through a specific problem, Mary and Jonathan focus on assessment and root-cause work. You choose the lane that matches what you actually need.
How much does a massage cost?
A 60-minute session is $110 plus tax, and a 90-minute session is $155 plus tax, and that includes tip. Pricing is the same across all three therapists, so your decision comes down to the kind of work you're looking for, not the cost. The extra 30 minutes in a 90-minute session gives your therapist more room to actually work through the issue you came in for.
How often should I get a massage?
It depends on what you're working on. If you're dealing with a persistent issue, weekly sessions help your body hold onto progress instead of slipping back into old tension patterns. Once things start feeling better, many clients shift to monthly visits just to maintain how they feel. There's no single right schedule. Your therapist can help you figure out a rhythm based on how your body responds.
Will the massage hurt, or will the pressure be too intense?
No. Every therapist at Massage at Blue Sky works within your comfort level, not a fixed routine applied to everyone. If a certain amount of pressure feels like too much, you can say so, and your therapist will adjust. Even the more clinical, assessment-based sessions with Mary and Jonathan are meant to feel manageable, not punishing. Some mild soreness afterward is normal, but the goal is always relief, not something to tough out.
