Where Raleigh goes to feel better, and to get better.

In the Stanhope parking garage, and it is free. Pull a ticket on your way in, bring it up to the front desk with you, and we validate it while you are here. You pay nothing for parking. This is the question we get asked most, so now you have the answer before you arrive.

Your first massage or facial at C3 Wellness Spa is $85, or the menu price if that is lower. After that a 60-minute Swedish is $110, therapeutic $125 and deep tissue $130, rising to $150, $160 and $170 at ninety minutes. Members pay less: a Platinum membership is $80 a month and includes a 60-minute treatment, which is where the $80 figure comes from. Students with a valid college ID take 15% off any individual service.

On your first visit, yes. There is a short intake and liability form, and a separate photo release that is entirely optional. Say no to the photo release and nothing changes about your treatment. Arriving ten minutes early gets both done without eating into your hour.

Sometimes. Massage, physical therapy and acupuncture can be billed to medical insurance when a licensed clinician performs them and there is a medical reason on file. We bill Aetna, AARP, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare and VA Community Care. Send us your plan and we will check before you book, at no cost.

No. North Carolina has unrestricted direct access, so you can see a licensed physical therapist without a referral from anyone, with no visit cap and no time limit. Your insurance may still want paperwork, which is a separate question, and we will tell you what yours needs.

Massage treats tension and circulation. Physical therapy evaluates and rehabilitates an injury, and it is delivered by a licensed physical therapist who can bill your insurance. C3 Wellness Spa has both in the same building, so if you book one and need the other, we move you.

You sit in a booth for fifteen minutes breathing air carrying fine dry salt, with low light and sound. People come to us for congestion, for asthma, for skin, and for stress, and halotherapy is promoted for exactly that. It is a complement to whatever your doctor already has you on, never a replacement, and we will not tell you it cures anything. It costs $15.

Usually, especially weekday mornings and early afternoons. Evenings and Saturdays fill first, so book those a few days ahead. Couples treatments need a phone call because they take two therapists.

Tipping is optional and always appreciated. The usual range is fifteen to twenty percent. If your visit is billed to insurance, tipping on a clinical treatment is not expected, and nobody will think anything of it either way.

No. Book once, book never again, or book every week. Memberships save money if you come monthly, but nothing on this site requires one and no price shown here is a member-only price.

Give us 24 hours and there is no charge. Arrive late and you get the time that is left, because the person after you booked their hour too. Cancel inside 24 hours, or miss it entirely, and we charge the full value of the service.

C3 Wellness Spa bills Aetna, AARP, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare and VA Community Care for massage therapy and physical therapy. Those are the plans written in North Carolina that we are set up for. Coverage depends on your plan and on the treatment. Send your plan details and C3 will check before you book, at no cost.

No. Massage treats tension and circulation. Physical therapy diagnoses and rehabilitates an injury and is delivered by a licensed physical therapist who can bill medical insurance. C3 Wellness Spa offers both at 3001 Hillsborough Street in Raleigh.

You sit in a booth and breathe air carrying fine dry salt for fifteen minutes, with low light and sound. Halotherapy is promoted for congestion, for asthma and other respiratory complaints, for skin conditions and for stress. It sits alongside your medical care rather than replacing it. A session at C3 Wellness Spa costs $15.

Same-day appointments are usually available, especially weekday mornings and early afternoons. Evenings and Saturdays fill first. Couples treatments require a phone call because they need two therapists.
