How to pick the right session
The simplest way to think about massage therapy in Lawrence: pick the service that matches the part of you that's most uncomfortable right now. If your feet have been the loudest complaint all week, go with foot reflexology — most regulars say it's the best foot reflexology in Lawrence for the price. If it's your neck and shoulders from a desk, deep tissue massage or the neck and shoulder session will do more for you. If you mostly just want to stop thinking for an hour, a Swedish or hot stone massage is gentle and easy to enjoy. Want both feet and body covered? The combo. Bringing someone in? Our couples massage in Lawrence is a private side-by-side suite, popular for date nights and anniversaries. Looking for something a little different than what you've had before? Head spa and Chinese cupping are the two most people in Lawrence get curious about — both are relatively new in town and we're one of the few spas that actually do them well.

Why people in Lawrence end up at Ten Toes
Free parking, real hours, walk-ins that actually mean it — the everyday reasons regulars stick around.
Our address is 3514 Clinton Parkway, Suite F, Lawrence, KS 66047. If you've shopped at the HyVee on Clinton or eaten at the Smokehouse, you've driven past us a hundred times. The suite sign is small enough that first-timers usually call to double check — that's normal. We're the second door from the left in the strip. Park anywhere out front; parking is free and you don't have to feed a meter or use an app, which sounds like a small thing until you're already ten minutes late for a session.
The thing most clients mention to us in passing is the hours. We're open every day from 9 in the morning until 9:30 at night, Sundays included — see open late / evening massage for the full after-work picture. That last evening hour ends up being our busiest stretch — the after-work crowd shows up between 6 and 8, especially Tuesday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights tend to book up earlier in the day, so if your schedule is locked in, a quick call ahead is the easiest way to protect the slot you want. Sunday mornings, on the other hand, are almost always wide open. People assume we're closed and we're not.
We try hard not to be the kind of place that says "walk-ins welcome" and then turns you away. — On what walk-in actually means
Walk-ins are the other thing we actually mean. Most weekdays, if you stop in without an appointment, a licensed massage therapist can have you on a table inside 10 or 15 minutes. We try hard not to be the kind of place that says "walk-ins welcome" and then turns you away. If we genuinely are full when you arrive, we'll tell you the next available time so you can run an errand on Clinton and come back, rather than just shrugging at you. Mayo Clinic notes that massage can ease stress, reduce muscle tension and improve sleep — and same-day access matters when you're carrying any of those into your week. That's part of why people searching "massage near me" in Lawrence, KS keep ending up here instead of at a chain spa.
Distance-wise, we're easy to reach from most of Lawrence, Kansas. KU's south end is about a ten-minute drive — Iowa down to Clinton Parkway and you're here. Downtown Mass Street takes about the same. The Clinton Lake side of town is even closer. People who live in East Lawrence sometimes cut down 15th to get here, which works fine if you don't want to loop around the bigger streets. None of these are bad drives even on a Saturday, which is one of the reasons we end up being the default massage spa near Clinton Parkway and the most affordable convenient pick for a lot of folks in town.
What a first visit actually looks like
Front desk intake, low lights, an honest pressure conversation — start to finish, here's what to expect.
Whether you booked online or you're a walk-in, your first massage in Lawrence with us starts the same way. You'll check in at the front desk, and if it's your first time we'll hand you a short intake form — name, phone, any injuries or things to avoid, and how you generally like your pressure (lighter, medium, firm). It takes two minutes, maybe three. We don't do twenty-page health histories.
Your therapist will come out, walk you back to the room, and ask a couple of quick questions about what you want from the session today. For reflexology you stay fully clothed — loose pants help, though jeans roll up fine if that's what you've got on. For a body massage you change in the room and lie under the sheet. The lighting is low, the music is on the quiet side, and there's no incense or wind chimes. We try to keep the room calm without making it feel like a stereotype.
A lot of first-timers worry they're being a pain by asking for adjustments, and they're really not — the session goes better when we know what you actually want. — On speaking up during a session
Once you're on the table, the therapist usually checks in about pressure within the first five minutes. This is the part where it really helps to speak up. If it's too light or too heavy, just say so. A lot of first-timers worry they're being a pain by asking for adjustments, and they're really not — the session goes better when we know what you actually want. Specific is even better. "More time on the shoulders," "skip the calves," "lighter on the lower back," or just "I don't want to talk today" are all completely normal things to say. The massage aftercare guide covers what to do after.
When you're done, you'll get water and a few minutes to come back to earth before standing up. You pay at the front and can rebook on the way out if you want to. We don't push memberships or upsells at the door — there's a brochure on the rack if you're curious about VIP membership, but nobody on the team is going to chase you down the hall about it.
Driving in from outside Lawrence
A real chunk of our regular clients drive in from Douglas County and the small towns nearby for massage therapy and reflexology in Lawrence. The drive times below are what guests actually tell us, not Google's optimistic traffic estimate. If you're not from Lawrence proper, this is roughly what to expect.
- Eudora, KS
About 10 minutes east on K-10. We see Eudora folks pretty often.
- Baldwin City, KS
Around 20 minutes south on US-59. Easy straight shot.
- Lecompton, KS
Roughly 15 minutes northwest.
- Clinton Lake area
Five to seven minutes from the dam side of Lawrence.
- East Lawrence
Ten minutes if you cut down 15th, fifteen the long way around.
- West Lawrence
Five to ten minutes, depending on what Clinton Parkway is doing.
- Douglas County, KS
We're the closest dedicated reflexology spa for most of the county.
If you're coming from further out and want the drive to feel worth it, a 90-minute combo or a couples session pairs nicely with dinner downtown afterward — Massachusetts Street is about ten minutes from us.

The questions we get most
- Where are you exactly?
- 3514 Clinton Parkway, Suite F. We're tucked between the HyVee and a dental office in the strip on the south side of Clinton, second door from the left. The suite sign is honestly pretty small, so if you've driven past us once, you're not the first. Free parking right outside the door.
- Do you actually take walk-ins?
- Yes, and we mean it. Most weekdays, if you stop in we can get you on a table inside 10 or 15 minutes — see our walk-in massage page for the full breakdown. The exception is Friday and Saturday evenings — those fill up by mid-afternoon. If you can call ahead at (785) 865-6806 it saves you the wait, but it's not required.
- What are your hours?
- Every day, 9 AM to 9:30 PM. That includes Sundays and most holidays. If we ever close early for a holiday we post it on Google first. For an after-work slot see open late / evening massage.
- I've never had a massage. What should I book?
- Depends on what's bugging you. If your feet are wrecked from standing all day, foot reflexology — 30 minutes for $35 is a great way to try it, and a lot of people say it's the best foot reflexology in Lawrence for the money. If your shoulders are wound up from a desk, a 60-minute deep tissue at $75. If you want a taste of both, the combo at $65 is honestly the best value on the menu. If you want a primer on what massage does and how to pick, the NCCIH overview of massage therapy is a solid starting point before your first visit.
- How far do you reach? Do you come to my house?
- We're one location, not a mobile service. People searching for the best massage near them drive in from Eudora, Baldwin City, Lecompton, the Clinton Lake side, and East and West Lawrence — most of those are between 10 and 25 minutes door to door. From KU campus we're about ten minutes down Iowa. We see Douglas County folks pretty regularly.
- Can my partner come with me?
- Yes. The couples massage suite is a private room with two tables side by side. 60 minutes is $150, 90 minutes is $210. There's only one couples room, so it's worth booking ahead, especially on weekends or around holidays. Birthday and anniversary sessions book the fastest.
- Anything I should bring?
- Nothing required. For reflexology, loose pants help (jeans roll up fine if that's what you're wearing). For a full massage you change in the room and we've got sheets and a blanket. Water bottle if you like — we have water too.
- Do you expect a tip?
- It's up to you. Cash or card, we don't mind. Most regulars leave 15 to 20 percent. Nobody on the team is going to make you feel weird either way.
- Do you do cupping or head spa? Where else can I get them in Lawrence?
- Yes, we offer both Chinese cupping and head spa in Lawrence. Most chains in town don't do either, and the chiro and rehab clinics that offer cupping treat it as a clinical service — we keep it in a relaxation spa context. People searching for the best cupping in Lawrence or a head spa near KU usually end up booking with us. Read the what is cupping guide and the head spa guide for more.
- Is Ten Toes the top-rated massage spa in Lawrence?
- We're at 4.9 stars on Google with 10000+ happy customers, which puts us at the top of the rated spas in Lawrence for both reflexology and massage. Read the recent reviews if you want to see what guests actually say.
