Full Body Massage

Sometimes a massage that focuses on a specific part of your body just won’t cut it. Maybe you’re in the mood for total relaxation, or you’re after an all-over sense of wellness from a treatment that reaches every nook. “Full body” can refer to a number of different massage styles across widely-practised set of treatments. With the term covering so many different techniques, newcomers to the world of massage can find it difficult to know what to expect from a full body session. There are also some key differences between individual treatments that are worth noting – here’s a quick rundown.

Helping with pain management for chronic pain
Speeding up the recovery process
Improving sleep quality
Helping with digestion
Reducing anxiety
Easing headaches (although it’s worth contacting your doctor first if you suffer from migraines)
