What is a Relaxation Massage?
Relaxation massage is a gentle, full-body massage designed to promote overall relaxation and wellbeing. Its primary purpose is to help you to de-stress and calm both your mind and body by relaxing the nervous system, rather than addressing specific chronic pain or injuries.
Relaxation massages use light to medium pressure with long, smooth, and flowing strokes. The techniques are gentle and rhythmic, including kneading, tapping, and circular movements, all aimed at soothing the nervous system. The main objective of a relaxation massage is to reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and encourage the release of “feel-good” hormones like serotonin and dopamine.
A relaxation massage can also provide physical benefits, such as improved circulation, relief from minor muscle tension, and enhanced flexibility. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking for a serene and restorative experience.

How your appointment will look
Your massage therapist will greet you and take you into the consultation room. They will begin by discussing any preferences for pressure or focus areas and create a calming environment. They will assess your levels of stress and explain the appropriate treatment approach.
Your massage therapist will then leave the room to give you time to prepare for your massage. You will remove the appropriate items of clothing and lie down on the treatment couch. You will then enjoy a full body massage tailored to your comfort.
Your session will conclude with your massage therapist leaving the room allowing you time to get ready to leave. Your therapist will offer after care suggestions and recommendations for follow up sessions.
