The main aim of a classical or relaxation massage is relaxation. It is considered one of the most perfect and soothing massages known to man.
It represents the care of the whole body or parts of the body, such as the back, neck, arms or feet. It is accompanied by soft music, soft light and aromatherapy with essential oils.
The masseur uses all kinds of massage techniques, including long strokes, gentle kneading and rolling of the skin and muscles, and sometimes rhythmic rocking from side to side. It is a passive form of treatment and is unlikely to stretch you in the way that Thai massage is known to do.
A good relaxing massage relieves stress and tension in the muscles, brings a feeling of well-being due to improved circulation, more oxygen in the organs and skin and lymphatic drainage.
Whether it is a full body or back massage, it helps to relieve back and neck pain and breaks up stubborn knots and tight soft tissues. It encourages the body to digest food and get rid of toxins, and will help you get a better night's sleep. It will also help soothe sore muscles, ease the pain of sprains and encourage the skin to heal minor abrasions.
