Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work on people or animals?
People only! The name comes from my Wife and I's cats, not clientele. Four Paws Massage is a licensed massage therapy practice serving humans.
Who is your therapist?
My name is Christian, and I’m a licensed massage therapist in Oregon. I run Four Paws Massage as a private solo practice, which means every session is with me — you’ll always know who you’re booking with.
What makes Four Paws Massage different from a spa or chain?
This is a private solo practice, not a spa with rotating staff. You book with me, you work with me, and I learn your body over time. The goal isn’t to get you in and out — it’s to actually help you.
How is Four Paws Massage keeping things clean and sanitary?
Fresh linens are used for every client, the table and room are sanitized between sessions, and hygiene is taken seriously at every step. You can come in confident the space is clean.
Do you accept insurance?
No, Four Paws Massage does not bill insurance.
Is there anything that would prevent me from getting a massage that day?
Yes — a few things. Active fever, contagious illness, open wounds, blood clots, or certain acute injuries are contraindications. When in doubt, reach out before your appointment and we’ll figure out if it’s safe to proceed.
Do you accept tips?
Tips are never expected but always appreciated. If you felt the session was worth it, a tip is a kind way to say so — but please don’t feel obligated.
How often should I get a massage?
For general wellness, once or twice a month is a great starting point. If you’re managing chronic tension, stress, or recovering from something, more frequent sessions in the short term often make a bigger difference.
What should I do after my session?
Hydrate — your muscles just did some work and hydration helps. You might feel a little sore the next day, especially after deeper work. That’s normal. Take it easy if you can, and let your body settle.
Do I need to undress completely?
Only to your comfort level. You’ll be draped with a sheet at all times, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. Your comfort and privacy are the priority.
Where are you located?
10700 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy, Bldg 2 Suite 450, Beaverton, OR. Parking is available at the building.
How do I book an appointment?
Online booking is available 24/7 through Square Appointments at fourpawsmassage.net. You can also reach out directly if you have questions before booking.
Do I need to talk during the session?
Not at all. Some people like to chat, others prefer silence. Either is completely fine. The session is yours — I follow your lead.
Do you take walk-ins?
Every session is by appointment only. Same-day bookings are sometimes available — check online or reach out directly to see what’s open.
