Choosing your massage
Relaxation or remedial: which massage do I need?
Choose relaxation massage to unwind and switch off. Choose remedial massage for tight or sore areas you want worked on. Still unsure? Ask at your consult.
Choose relaxation massage if...
You want to unwind, rest and switch off. Relaxation massage is calm and flowing, with lighter to medium pressure. You choose the music, lighting, fragrance and pressure, and you can ask for a Quiet Appointment.
- You're feeling stressed, tired or run down
- You want time out, not a workout
- You prefer lighter pressure
Choose remedial massage if...
You have areas of muscular tension you want worked on. Remedial massage is focused and firmer, and can be full body, targeted areas or a combination. Deep tissue and sports massage are booked as remedial massage.
- Tight shoulders, neck, back or legs
