Licensed Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a hands-on wellness service that uses pressure, movement, and targeted techniques to work with the body’s muscles and soft tissues.

Depending on the style of massage and the client’s needs, a session may focus on relaxation, muscular tension, general soreness, mobility, stress reduction, or recovery from demanding physical activity.

Exercise creates physical stress that the body must recover from before it can perform at its best again.

Massage therapy can complement a consistent fitness routine by helping clients relax, address areas of muscular tension, and dedicate focused time to recovery. It can be especially useful for individuals who train frequently, perform repetitive movements, work physically demanding jobs, or carry persistent tension from everyday life.

Massage should not replace proper sleep, hydration, nutrition, or appropriate medical care. It can, however, serve as a valuable part of a broader recovery strategy.

No.

Many clients schedule massage proactively rather than waiting until they feel excessively sore or uncomfortable. Regular massage can provide intentional recovery time, support relaxation, and help clients become more aware of areas where they commonly hold tension.

You also do not need to be a Hixon Fitness member to schedule an appointment with Hixon Massage Co.

Hixon Massage Co. offers several session styles that can be selected according to your preferences and goals, including:

• Swedish massage

• Deep tissue massage

• Hot stone massage

• Cupping massage

• Prenatal massage

Sessions are personalized based on the client’s comfort, requested pressure, areas of concern, and desired experience.

Massage therapy is not included as a standard Hixon Fitness membership benefit.

Hixon Massage Co. is a separately operated massage practice that we proudly recommend as a trusted recovery and wellness resource. Appointments, services, availability, and payments are handled directly through Hixon Massage Co.

This relationship allows us to connect members with a professional whose standards and approach align closely with the experience we strive to provide at Hixon Fitness & Athletics.

Massage services are provided by Kathleen Hixon, a licensed massage therapist and owner of Hixon Massage Co.

Kathleen provides individualized sessions in a calm, private setting, with each appointment tailored around the client’s preferences, comfort, and recovery needs.

Massage therapists do not diagnose medical conditions or replace physicians, physical therapists, or other licensed healthcare providers.

Clients experiencing a new injury, unexplained pain, severe symptoms, or a diagnosed medical condition should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before scheduling massage. When massage is suitable, the session can then be adjusted around the client’s needs and professional recommendations.

Hixon Massage Co. operates from a separate private massage space in New Braunfels.

Because sessions are provided by appointment and availability may be limited, clients should schedule directly through the Hixon Massage Co. website.

Progress is not created by training alone.

Consistent exercise, quality nutrition, adequate sleep, stress management, and intentional recovery all influence how you feel and perform. Massage therapy provides an opportunity to slow down, address accumulated tension, and give your body focused attention outside the gym.

By connecting our members with Hixon Massage Co., we can confidently recommend a local massage experience that reflects the same values we prioritize at Hixon Fitness & Athletics: professionalism, personalization, privacy, and exceptional service.
