Therapist giving a relaxing back massage

Relaxation Massage

Overview

A relaxation massage is a calm, full-body treatment that uses flowing strokes and light to medium pressure. It is a good place to start if you are new to massage, feeling stressed, or simply need an hour to slow down and rest.

Your therapist works through the areas you choose, such as the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs and feet, at a pace and pressure that feel right to you. Tell us what feels good and we will adjust as we go. Sessions are offered at our Castleridge location in northeast Calgary.

Good to Know Before You Book

Massage is generally low risk, but please tell us about medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, allergies or recent injuries before your session. If you are unsure whether massage is right for you, check with your doctor first.

Research on massage shows short-term relief for some types of pain and some help with anxiety, though study quality varies. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) also notes that serious side effects are rare.

Common Questions

Is a relaxation massage right for a first visit?

Yes. The pressure is light to medium and you stay in control of it, so it is a gentle way to try massage for the first time.

Do I need to undress?

You will be covered with a towel or drape and only the area being worked on is uncovered. Wear what you are comfortable with and tell us if you would like to keep any clothing on.

How often should I book a massage?

There is no single right answer. Some people come when they feel tense, others on a regular schedule. We can suggest a rhythm based on your goals and budget.
