Oak Haven Massage opens South Austin location with sauna and therapy

Oak Haven Massage has opened a South First Street location in Austin’s 78704 corridor, pairing infrared sauna sessions with massage therapy in one site. The new space aims to streamline recovery for active South Austin residents and offers seven-day service, online booking and membership options.

Why it matters: - South Austin residents can now combine a private infrared sauna session and massage therapy in one visit at 900 S. 1st Street. - The setup reduces the need to travel between separate recovery providers. - The location is positioned for people who run, bike, hike or work physically demanding jobs in the 78704 area.

What happened: - Oak Haven Massage opened its newest location at 900 S. 1st Street in South Austin. - The site offers professional massage therapy and private infrared sauna sessions under one roof. - The location operates seven days a week from 9am to 9pm. - Massage sessions are available through Oak Haven’s online scheduling system.

The details: - The infrared sauna runs in private 25-minute sessions. - Customers can choose per-visit sessions or monthly membership options. - Sauna memberships are available for both Austin and San Antonio locations. - Membership credits can be shared among family members. - The South First massage team includes therapists trained in deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, sports massage and neuromuscular work. - Amber has been licensed since 1997 and works in neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue work and manual lymphatic drainage. - Jesse P. is a Tier 3 therapist licensed since 2005 and teaches other licensed therapists in deep tissue, cupping, prenatal and therapeutic stretching techniques. - Jannah is a University of Texas graduate and a Tier 3 specialist in Targeted Manual Therapy.

Between the lines: - Oak Haven is bundling heat and hands-on treatment to create a more continuous recovery flow for clients. - The company representative said the combination is meant to support more regular visits rather than occasional appointments. - Infrared heat is presented as a way to warm tissue before massage and help therapists work more efficiently through tight areas. - The broader recovery pitch reflects demand from South Austin’s active, health-conscious population near Lady Bird Lake, Barton Creek Greenbelt and Zilker Park.

What’s next: - Oak Haven will continue booking massage and sauna visits through its online scheduling platform. - Clients can use the South First site as part of a broader membership network across Austin and San Antonio. - The location’s recovery-focused model may draw repeat visits from nearby residents and athletes.
