Relaxing massage
The relaxing massage - often called classic massage - is the most familiar type there is, and the best place to start if you have never had a massage before.
- Duration
- 30-90 min
- Price
- On request
The aim is straightforward: relax the whole body. It combines gliding, kneading and cross-fibre friction to work through the knots that build up in muscle, but at a slower and more even pace than a therapeutic session.
If you are unsure what to book, this is usually the right answer. Nothing about it is intense and there is no part of it that should hurt.
Prices are given when you get in touch, so you always hear the current rate.
What people usually come for
- A first massage, if you have never had one

- Winding down when you have been running on stress
- Getting circulation moving after a long flight
- Concentration that has gone flat
- Tiredness that sleep alone has not fixed
