What is a full-body massage?

As the name would suggest, a full-body massage works your entire body from top to toe. This means your massage therapist will be using a range of different movements, techniques and levels of pressure to relieve tension and stress across all parts of your body.

While your therapist will be able to tailor your session to your needs, a full-body massage typically covers:

1. Your head, including the temples, crown, scalp and occipital muscles (at the back of your head)
2. Your neck, including the nape and trapezius (a.k.a. The long muscles that run down the sides and connect to your back)
3. Your shoulders, including along the collar bones, shoulder blades and upper back
4. Your arms and hands
5. Your upper and lower back, an area that commonly holds stubborn tension and tightness 6. Your legs, including your buttocks, glutes, tights, calves and feet 7. There are stacks of different massage types, from sports massage to remedial massage as well as lymphatic drainage massage, pregnancy massage, couples massage, Swedish massage and even deep tissue massage.

If you’re looking for a gentle, restorative session that uses light pressure, a relaxation massage is going to be the perfect fit.
