The Word Is Getting Out About Our ASMR Massage

On April 10, 2024, The Washington Post featured TheraKneads Wellness Center’s ASMR Massage in an article about “self-care steals.”

“Are you someone who is always asking your mom, partner or sibling to play with your hair or give you back tickles? Then this ASMR massage is tailor-made for you.

ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response and basically means the tingles you get when you watch a satisfying video or when someone plays with your hair. Enthusiasts often watch ASMR videos to fall asleep, and ASMR-tagged videos on TikTok have garnered over 370 billion views.

With such a huge audience, it’s hard to understand why there are so few places that do ASMR massages. TheraKneads recognized the lack of practitioners in the area and looked to fill that role. People now travel from hours away to get the unique experience, for which you can choose to have the sound of either a crackling fire or a thunderstorm in the background.

As with a traditional massage, you are instructed to undress to your comfort level, but they request that you remove any bra straps for back and shoulder tickles. From there, you lie on a heated massage [table] as your massage therapist begins playing with your hair; brushing your face and arms with a soft brush; and lightly scratching or tickling your arms, face, back and neck. They can also focus on areas like your hands or legs if that’s what gives you relaxation.

Starting at $65 for a half-hour massage, this is an unusual and luxurious, yet incredibly personal service.”
