Massage Therapy – FAQs
What pressure do you offer?
Our massages are relaxation-based, with pressure adjusted from light to firm and guided by what feels safe and effective for your body. We focus on easing tension and supporting relaxation rather than pain-based or remedial techniques.
What’s the difference between 60 and 90 minutes?
A 60-minute massage provides a balanced full-body experience.
A 90-minute massage allows more time to slow down and spend additional focus on areas of tension — it is not deeper, simply more time.
Is massage suitable if I hold a lot of tension?
Yes. Your therapist will tailor your massage to how your body feels on the day. If you’d like more time spent on specific areas, our 90-minute massage or spa packages are ideal options.

What should I expect during a massage?
Your massage begins with a brief consultation where your therapist will discuss your goals, any areas of tension or discomfort, and your preferred pressure. You’ll be given privacy to get comfortable before the treatment begins. Throughout your massage, your comfort is our priority, and your therapist will adjust techniques and pressure as needed to ensure a relaxing and personalised experience.
Do I need to remove all my clothing for a massage?
No. You should only undress to your own comfort level. During your treatment, you will be professionally draped with towels at all times, with only the area being treated exposed. Our experienced therapists are committed to providing a safe, respectful and comfortable environment throughout your visit.
Why do I feel sleepy after a massage?
Massage helps calm the nervous system, improve circulation and release muscle tension, which often leaves people feeling deeply relaxed or sleepy afterwards. This is a normal response and a sign that your body is shifting into a state of recovery and relaxation. We recommend drinking plenty of water and allowing yourself time to rest after your treatment whenever possible.
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage therapy offers both physical and mental wellbeing benefits. It can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, promote relaxation, ease everyday stress and support overall wellness. Regular massage also provides valuable time to slow down, recharge and care for your body in today’s busy lifestyle.
What are the benefits of hot stone massage?
Hot stone massage combines traditional massage techniques with smooth heated stones to help warm tight muscles and encourage deep relaxation. The comforting warmth may help reduce muscle stiffness, improve circulation and create a calming experience that many clients find deeply restorative.
Can I shower after my treatment?
Yes. Most massage treatments do not require any special aftercare, and you may shower afterwards if you wish. If your treatment includes specialised oils or products, your therapist will let you know if it’s beneficial to leave them on the skin for a little longer to maximise their effects.
Which massage is best for stress relief?
If your goal is relaxation and stress reduction, your therapist will recommend the massage style best suited to your individual needs. Whether you’re feeling mentally overwhelmed or physically tense, every treatment at Sojo Spa & Wellness is personalised to help you unwind, restore balance and leave feeling refreshed.
Which massage is best for muscle tension?
The ideal massage depends on where you’re experiencing tension and how your muscles feel on the day of your appointment. During your consultation, your therapist will assess your needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment to help relieve tightness, improve comfort and support your overall wellbeing.
How often should I get a massage?
Many people benefit from a massage every 4 to 6 weeks as part of their regular wellness routine, while others choose more frequent treatments during periods of increased stress or physical activity. Your therapist can recommend a schedule based on your lifestyle, goals and individual needs.
Do you offer massage therapy in Charlestown?
Yes. Sojo Spa & Wellness is conveniently located in Charlestown and welcomes clients from Newcastle, Kotara, Adamstown, New Lambton, Belmont and Lake Macquarie. Our personalised massage treatments are designed to help you relax, reduce stress and enjoy a premium wellness experience in a calm and luxurious environment.
Do you offer massage for couples?
Yes. We offer beautifully curated Couples Spa Experiences where two guests can enjoy relaxing treatments together. It’s a popular choice for anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions or simply spending quality time together in a peaceful spa setting.
What should I do before my massage appointment?
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early so you can settle in and complete any necessary consultation. Wearing comfortable clothing, staying hydrated and arriving with an open mind will help you get the most from your massage experience.

Booked the couples indulgence for my partners birthday. It was a great experience, and we both came out so relaxed, happy and feeling amazing. Everybody was so lovely and Indi and Sienna were our Beauty Therapists, and we will definitely come back again for a treat with them. Atmosphere in the room was great, they were super professional and the products that were used were fantastic. Thank you for making this day special.

I went & had a relaxing 1hr massage & Vit C Facial with a hot oil head massage with Indi yesterday, having been in the beauty industry for 30yrs in Sydney, I am fussy, but it didn’t disappoint, Indi was on time & very Professional, my beauty room was very warm & comfortable, very clean, after the treatments, I was given the option of having a shower, also in the treatment room, which I loved, there was no road noise, being on Pacific Hwy I thought there might have been, I wasn’t rushed after the treatment & it was a nice touch to be giving herbal tea before & after(with Chocolate), I normal go to sydney for treatments as I can’t find a salon that satisfies in Newcastle, but I will definitely be returning to this salon, thank you Indi for looking after me so beautifully 🙏

I had my first treatment today at Sojo with the beautiful Indi and it completely exceeded my expectations. I felt like I was floating in the clouds after the 3hr Pamper package I received. The space itself is perfection, Indi did an incredible job for my massage, facial and pedicure and the glass of bubbles and cupcake treat were the icing on the cake. A beautiful space with exceptional staff. Can't rate Sojo highly enough and can't wait to go back. Thank you so much
