Waco Massage
Marcus Hodges, LMT
My mission is to take seriously the discipline of massage therapy as an ancient philosophy of healing for the general community.
Raw Skill Meets Refined Technique
Every session includes NYC-level enhancements at no extra cost
Hot & Cold Stone Therapy
Heat to relax, cold to reduce inflammation. Strategic temperature work that goes deeper than hands alone.
Aromatherapy
Essential oils selected for therapeutic effect, not just smell. Real compounds that work.
Cupping & Gua Sha
Traditional tools for fascial release. They look dramatic, they work effectively, they're included.
CBD (topical, therapeutic)
Medical-grade topical compound. Anti-inflammatory, not recreational. Won't make you hear colors.
Deep Tissue
Real pressure when you need it. Not a service upgrade—it's just how I work when your body asks for it.
Hot Towels
Warmth to prep tissue, comfort between techniques. Small detail, big difference.
No hidden fees, no corporate upsells. Just honest bodywork enhanced by therapeutic soundscapes.
Deep Tissue Therapy
Sustained pressure to reach deeper muscle layers. For chronic tension that won't respond to lighter work.
Medical Massage
Targeted work for specific conditions. I have experience with fibromyalgia, arthritis, and injury recovery.
Trigger Point Release
Precise work on knots and referral patterns. Finding the source, not just treating symptoms.
Pre-Event Prep
Activation and circulation work to optimize performance before competition or heavy training.
Recovery Sessions
Post-workout protocols to reduce DOMS, improve flexibility, and accelerate tissue repair.
Maintenance Therapy
Regular tune-ups to keep you training consistently and catch issues before they become injuries.
Swedish Relaxation
Classic flowing techniques designed to lower cortisol and activate your parasympathetic nervous system.
Aromatherapy Integration
Custom essential oil blends selected for your specific stress patterns and wellness goals.
Executive Stress Relief
Targeted work for desk warriors—neck, shoulders, and the tension patterns of modern life.
Pregnancy Adaptation
Modified techniques and positioning systems designed specifically for prenatal safety and comfort.
Common Pregnancy Issues
Relief for back pain, sciatica, swelling, and other pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes.
Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle, specific techniques to reduce swelling and support your body's natural detox processes.
Myofascial Release
Sustained pressure and movement to address restrictions in the connective tissue matrix.
Cupping & Gua Sha
Traditional tools for circulation, fascial release, and addressing stubborn adhesions.
Hot Stone Integration
Strategic heat application to warm tissues and allow deeper, more effective manual work.
