Relaxation Massage

We invite you to a relaxing massage

Relaxation massage, whether it is a whole body or for a particular part of the body, is a relaxing procedure. In a relaxation massage therapy session, the massage therapist applies gentle to medium manipulation techniques to the superficial layers of the body tissue. Contrasting to deep tissue or trigger point massage, it doesn’t address the connective tissue of the muscles, although it does a great job at easing tired muscles. The scents of essential oils or herbal mixtures used during relaxation massage are also aimed to relax the client.

What is a relaxation massage?

Relaxing massage is a type of classic massage, aimed at releasing muscle tension, reducing neck, shoulders and back pain and improving lymphatic drainage.

It’s a full-body massage that combines gentle kneading, tapping and long strokes directed towards the heart to improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow. This type of massage is ideal for anyone who’s new to massage or just wants to bring down their stress levels after a long, tiring day.

Preparation for your massage session tips

Stay hydrated, wear clean comfortable clothes, avoid high heels, avoid rush and heavy traffic, arrive on time, switch off your phone and other devices, communicate your needs and relax during the session.

Generally your relaxing massage session begins and ends in the same way – massage therapist uses stroking technique, combined with kneading, striking and rubbing. These movements are used to work the muscles and create an overall feeling of relaxation.

The pressure and speed of the massage can vary depending on your preferences and your massage therapist recommendations.
