Which massage should you book?
The six massage styles offered at Anni Beauty Spa treat genuinely different things, and picking by name alone is how people end up disappointed — booking a relaxing massage when what they needed was deep tissue, or the reverse.
- Deep tissue — sustained pressure into the deeper muscle layers, for chronic tightness in the neck, shoulders, and back.
- Sports massage — targeted work around training load, recovery, and specific movement restrictions.
- Therapeutic massage — treatment-led work built around a particular problem area rather than a full-body routine.
- Stretching massage — assisted stretching to restore range of movement, useful for desk-bound stiffness.
- Lymphatic drainage — light, rhythmic strokes that move lymph fluid, used for puffiness, fluid retention, and post-procedure recovery.
- Relaxing massage — flowing, even pressure with the nervous system as the target rather than the muscle.
How much does a massage cost in Coral Gables?
Massage in the Coral Gables and Miami area generally runs $100 to $200 for an hour depending on the setting and the therapist. At Anni Beauty Spa, all six massage treatments are $120 for 60 minutes — flat, regardless of which style you choose.
Flat pricing is deliberate. It means you can pick the treatment that actually suits your body that week rather than the one that fits the budget.
Why book massage with a head spa?
Scalp tension is rarely just scalp tension. The muscles that pull across the scalp connect down through the neck and into the shoulders, which is why so much tension headache work happens at the base of the skull rather than on the head itself.
Treating the scalp and the upper back in the same visit addresses the whole chain instead of half of it. It is also, straightforwardly, a better ninety minutes than either treatment on its own.
What is lymphatic drainage massage for?
Lymphatic drainage uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph fluid toward the lymph nodes. Unlike deep tissue work, pressure is deliberately gentle — the lymphatic system sits just under the skin, and pressing harder is counterproductive.
It is commonly booked for puffiness and fluid retention, for recovery after cosmetic procedures, and by people who simply feel heavy and swollen in Miami heat. If you have a heart, kidney, or circulatory condition, or an active infection, check with a doctor first.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a massage cost in Coral Gables, Miami?
All six massage treatments at Anni Beauty Spa in Coral Gables are $120 for a 60-minute session: deep tissue, sports, therapeutic, stretching, lymphatic drainage, and relaxing massage.
What is the difference between deep tissue and relaxing massage?
Deep tissue uses sustained, firm pressure into deeper muscle layers to release chronic tightness, typically in the neck, shoulders, and back. A relaxing massage uses lighter, flowing pressure aimed at calming the nervous system rather than working on a specific muscular problem.
What does lymphatic drainage massage do?
Lymphatic drainage uses light, rhythmic strokes to move lymph fluid toward the lymph nodes, which can reduce puffiness and fluid retention and support recovery after cosmetic procedures. It is $120 for 60 minutes at Anni Beauty Spa in Coral Gables.
Can I book a massage and a head spa together?
Yes. Anni Beauty Spa offers both at the same Coral Gables location and they are commonly booked together, since scalp tension usually runs down through the neck and shoulders.
How often should I get a massage?
For general tension and stress, every four to six weeks works for most people. For a specific injury or chronic pain pattern, weekly or fortnightly sessions at the start are more effective, spacing out as the problem settles.
