— Pressure

What does a deep tissue massage feel like?

Like a slow, working ache in the one or two places that need it, and like very little anywhere else — sixty minutes of that is $110. The hour has a different shape from a relaxation massage: the therapist stays with the upper back, the neck and the shoulders — or wherever you point — and moves slowly enough that the tissue underneath has time to give way.

Relaxation is $95 for 60 min of long, even strokes at a pressure that stays comfortable the whole way through. Deep tissue is $110 for 60 min of slower work into fewer places, and it is normal to feel that work while it is happening.

A good ache and a sharp one are different signals

A good ache is dull, spread out over a hand-sized area, and it eases while the therapist is still working. Sharp, hot or electric means something else, and the pressure comes off the moment you say so. Nothing on this menu asks you to endure an hour in order to get anything out of it.

You set the dial, out loud

The therapist asks before starting and checks again partway through. “A little lighter through the left shoulder” is a complete answer, and it changes the next stroke rather than the next appointment. Firmer is just as easy to ask for, and plenty of people do.

— Who books it

Who books deep tissue massage in Coon Rapids?

Three groups, mostly: people who sit at a desk and carry it across the top of the shoulders, people who shovel or lift and feel it in the low back the next morning, and people with an old injury that stiffens up in the cold.

None of that needs a diagnosis before you book. Point at the area when you arrive, say roughly how long it has been like that, and the hour is built around it.

Desk shoulders

Eight hours at a keyboard holds the shoulders slightly lifted and the head slightly forward, and the muscles along the top of the shoulders and up the back of the neck shorten to match. That pattern is the most common reason a deep tissue hour gets booked here. Sixty minutes worked through the upper back, neck and shoulders is $110.

Lifting and shovelling

A twist to one side, a lift, a throw, repeated for forty minutes — the low back and one shoulder usually take it. Deep tissue and hot stone are both $110 for 60 min, and after a heavy week the heat of the stones is often the easier way into a back that has stayed braced.

The old injury that stiffens in the cold

An ankle, a knee or a shoulder hurt years ago often feels tighter in cold weather. Deep tissue works on the muscle and soft tissue around the joint, and it is a wellness treatment rather than rehabilitation. Tell the therapist what the original injury was and what your doctor has said about it — that shapes what gets worked and what gets left alone.

— Price

How much is a deep tissue massage in Coon Rapids?

$110 for 60 min, with a $30 card deposit taken at booking and applied to the total on the day. There is no membership to join, no joining fee and nothing added to the bill mid-treatment — that number is what the booking system charges.

Hand & Stone, which took over the Riverdale Boulevard address in Coon Rapids, listed $164.95 for a 60-minute deep tissue massage at its non-member rate when it was checked on 16 September 2026. Ours is $110, and there is nothing to sign up for in order to pay it.

What the deposit is for

A $30 card deposit holds a therapist and a room for the hour. It comes off what you pay rather than sitting on top of it. Across the rest of the menu those deposits run $30 to $60, scaled to how long the treatment holds the room — the 120 min combination takes the largest.

If you want ninety minutes

Deep tissue is booked as a 60 min appointment; the booking system carries no ninety-minute deep tissue row. For ninety minutes, relaxation is $135 and hot stone is $150, and both give the therapist room to come back over the back and shoulders a second time. Every row is on the menu page.

— What guests say

What do guests say about the deep tissue massage here?

Fiona's Day Spa holds Rated 5.0 on Google, and one of them names the deep tissue directly. Cassandra Anderson wrote: “Fiona provided me with the best deep tissue massage I have ever received! Can’t wait to try more of her services!” The listing and every review on it are on Google.

Peju Nordvik’s review names the length — “It was the best 60-minute massage I’ve ever had” — and Marina Loomis’s says the therapist “targeted my tightest areas.” Both sit on the same listing.

Who you will be booked with

Five therapists work here. Fiona took her massage therapy degree at Northwestern Health Sciences University and her advanced esthetics at Saint Paul College, is licensed as both a massage therapist and an esthetician, and goes back to Korea each year for continuing education; she tells that story in her VoyageMinnesota interview. Jing, Irina and Gabrielle work across massage and head spa, and Nicole has worked as an esthetician for more than ten years. Their bios are on the about page.

— Choosing

Deep tissue, hot stone or sports — which one?

All three are $110 for sixty minutes. Pick by what you want done.

Deep tissue is for a spot you can point to without thinking about it. Hot stone brings heat first: warmed stones are worked over the muscle so it softens before hands do the rest. Sports massage is for people who train — it works on circulation, muscle tension and flexibility, and it is usually booked around hard efforts.

If nothing hurts in particular

Book relaxation: $95 for 60 min, $135 for 90 min. Long, even strokes over the whole body, essential oils in the lotion, and a pressure that stays comfortable from the first minute to the last. The massage page sets all four side by side.

Massage and head spa in one visit

$185 for 85 min, and $205 where hair is longer or thicker: a Korean head spa — scalp cleanse, exfoliation, warm water therapy and a scalp massage — then a full-body massage worked on muscle tightness. $250 adds a facial and runs 120 min. The head spa page covers what the scalp half involves.

— Step by step

An hour of deep tissue, start to finish

The same sequence, built around the area you name at the door.

  1. 1 You say where it is Before anything starts you are asked what hurts, how long it has been like that, what you have already tried, and what should be left alone — recent injuries or surgery, skin conditions, pregnancy, anything a doctor has told you.
  2. 2 Warm-up passes The first several minutes are broader and lighter across the whole area. Muscle that has been cold and braced does not take deep work well until it has been warmed through, and skipping this is what makes a deep tissue massage hurt for no reason.
  3. 3 Slow work into the area The therapist settles into the one or two places you named and works across the grain of the muscle at a pace that lets it release.
  4. 4 A pressure check Partway through you are asked whether it is right. Lighter, firmer, or move on to the other shoulder are all normal answers, and the next stroke changes.
  5. 5 A broader finish The last stretch opens out across the back, shoulders and neck again, so you are not getting up off the table straight out of the deepest work of the hour.
  6. 6 Water, and the rest of the day Drink water, move gently, and leave hard training until later in the day. Mild soreness the next morning is normal after deep tissue and usually settles within a day or two.

— Common questions

Asked & answered.

How much is a deep tissue massage in Coon Rapids, MN?

+

$110 for 60 min at Fiona's Day Spa, 3183 Northdale Blvd NW Suite B, Coon Rapids, MN 55433. A $30 card deposit is taken when you book and comes off the total on the day. There is no membership, no joining fee, and nothing is added to the bill during the appointment.

Relaxation or deep tissue — which should I book?

+

Book relaxation if the goal is to switch off, deep tissue if there is a specific knot you can point to. Relaxation uses long, even strokes at a pressure that stays comfortable throughout; deep tissue works slower and deeper into one or two areas, and it is normal for that to feel like a good ache.

Will it hurt?

+

A relaxation massage should not. Deep tissue can be uncomfortable in the places that need it, which is different from painful — tell your therapist and the pressure comes down immediately. You set the dial.

Will I be sore the day after a deep tissue massage?

+

Mild soreness the next morning is normal and usually settles within a day or two, much the way it does after a hard session at the gym. Drink water, move gently and leave heavy training until later in the day. If a spot stays sore longer than that, say so when you book again and the next hour is worked more lightly there.

How much do I need to undress?

+

As much as you are comfortable with. You are draped throughout and only the area being worked on is uncovered.

And afterwards?

+

Drink water, move gently, and leave hard training for later in the day if you feel worked on. Soreness the next morning is normal after deep tissue.

Can I book a deep tissue massage on a Tuesday?

+

No — the studio is closed all day Tuesday. Mon, Wed–Sat 10 AM–6:30 PM · Sun 12–5 PM · Closed Tuesday. Monday and Wednesday through Saturday run 10 AM to 6:30 PM and Sunday runs noon to 5 PM. Book online or call (763) 317-6018.

Can I have deep tissue work as part of a head spa appointment?

+

Yes. The Korean Head Spa & Body Massage is $185 for 85 min, or $205 where hair is longer or thicker. The scalp half comes first, then a full-body massage focused on releasing muscle tightness — say when you book that you want the massage half worked firmly, and it is.

Why does booking ask for a deposit?

+

Several treatments hold a therapist and a room for an hour or more, so those take a card deposit of $30 to $60 at booking. It is not an extra charge — it comes off what you pay on the day.

When should I not book a massage?

+

Check with a healthcare professional first if you have a fever or a contagious illness, a skin infection or open wound, recent surgery, a blood-clotting disorder, severe osteoporosis, certain heart conditions, or a high-risk pregnancy. Massage eases muscle tension and stress; it does not diagnose or treat a medical condition.

— Research & references

Massage is the best-documented treatment on this menu. The NCCIH lists it among the approaches studied for pain, stress and sleep, and the AMTA sets out where the research is strongest: the NCCIH on massage therapy , pain , sleep , the AMTA on massage and pain relief and on stress and mental health . General references on massage therapy, not claims about a specific outcome from a specific appointment. Treatments at Fiona's Day Spa are wellness and beauty services. They are not medical care and they do not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. If you have a scalp, skin or health concern, see a physician or a dermatologist.
