What is Massage?
Massage is a therapeutic technique renowned for its soothing effects on both the body and mind.
It involves gentle, flowing strokes targeting superficial muscles. The therapist applies rhythmic pressure with techniques like kneading and tapping to relieve tension and induce relaxation.
Unlike deep tissue massage, relaxation massage prioritises a calming experience over addressing specific muscular issues.

What to Expect from Your Session
During your massage, you can expect a comprehensive full-body treatment tailored to your preferences.
Before the session begins, your therapist will discuss any concerns and explore your preferred pressure level for a personalised experience.
As you relax on the massage table, your therapist will carefully position you, starting with your back or stomach and adjusting as needed. They’ll ensure your modesty with a towel or sheet while skillfully adapting draping as they work.
