Relaxation massage is all about relaxing. It focuses on giving the client time to recover from the stresses of daily life. When you experience relaxation massage, you can expect a treatment that involves long, smooth gliding strokes that are rhythmic and flowing and pressure that is deeply relaxing, but not painful. The treatment is also designed to soothe and relax you, not to relieve chronic pain or other underlying ailments. The massage environment offers soothing music and a calming effect through relaxing decor. As with any kind of massage, the benefits of a relaxation massage can last for several days after your treatment.
