BODY MASSAGE
How does it work?
Our spa therapists will use a combination of different massage techniques such as kneading, knuckling and effleurage to work deep into the muscle without causing any pain or discomfort.
This will help to increase circulation to the area and release built-up tension.
Your therapist will carry out a thorough consultation with you to ensure they focus on your areas of concern and get that pressure just right!
Your Body Massage Questions Answered
What should I expect during my first massage session?
Your therapist will begin with a brief consultation to discuss your needs and concerns. You'll be given privacy to undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table under a sheet. Only the area being worked on will be uncovered, ensuring your comfort and modesty throughout the treatment.
How often should I get a massage?
For optimal results, we recommend regular sessions every 4-6 weeks for maintenance. However, if you're addressing specific issues or participating in intense physical activity, more frequent sessions may be beneficial. We can create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.
Will the massage be painful?
While you may feel some pressure during deep tissue work, massage should never be excessively painful. Our therapists use a scale of 1-10 for pressure and will adjust according to your comfort level. Some mild soreness for 24-48 hours after a deep tissue massage is normal.
What are the benefits of regular massage therapy?
Regular massage therapy can help reduce stress, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, enhance flexibility, boost immune function, improve sleep quality, and promote overall wellness. It's particularly effective for managing chronic pain and stress-related conditions.
Should I avoid massage under certain conditions?
Yes, massage may not be suitable if you have: fever, severe cold/flu, skin infections, recent injuries/surgeries, or certain medical conditions. Always inform your therapist about any health conditions or medications during the consultation.
How should I prepare for my massage?
Arrive 5-10 minutes early, avoid heavy meals before your session, and ensure you're well-hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing and remove jewelry. After the massage, drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and maximize the benefits of your treatment.
