What is a relaxing massage? Properties, benefits and moves

What is relaxation massage?

Relaxing massage is a massage that promotes relaxation and well-being. It is ideal for first-time massagers or for those who fear the intense pressure that can be applied in more therapeutic massages.

This type of massage aims to relieve stress, relieve muscle tension and create a general sense of relaxation. 

During a relaxing massage, the client can feel a sense of relaxation and well-being, helping the nervous system to calm down and the body to achieve balance.

Properties and benefits of relaxing massage

Relaxing massage is an excellent treatment that has many properties and benefits for the body and mind. Analyzing in detail the properties of relaxing massage, we can observe the following:

Relaxation of the Nervous System: The main goal of relaxation massage is to induce deep relaxation in the nervous system. The gentle and regulated movements of the masseur help to reduce nervous tension, allowing the human body to relax deeply. It can also help patients with serious neurological conditions such as neuropathy.

Reduce Tension and Stress: One of the main benefits of relaxing massage is the reduction of tension and stress. During the treatment, the masseuse uses tactile movements and the environment is often calm and relaxing, helping the patient to feel relief and mental relaxation.

Improving Blood Circulation: Massage helps increase blood flow in the body. This helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells, promoting the body's regeneration and recovery.

Stimulation of the Lymphatic System: Massage strengthens the lymphatic system, which is responsible for transporting waste and toxins out of the body. This contributes to the detoxification of the body and helps to improve immunity. If you wish to receive personalized treatment for the proper functioning of your lymphatic system, then we recommend a lymphatic drainage massage therapy or lymphatic massage.

Improve Pain Relief: Although relaxation massage is not a primary treatment for pain, it can help relieve some muscle aches and other minor aches and pains.

What happens during a relaxing massage?

During the relaxing massage, the therapist applies massage oil to the body and then performs various massage movements. These movements aim to relieve tension, warm up muscle tissue and remove muscle 'knots' or 'stuck' tissue, known as symphysis.

Before starting the massage, the therapist will ask about possible injuries or other health interventions to take into account. In addition, he will ask about any allergies or the existence of pregnancy in order to adjust the treatment accordingly.

When is massage considered therapeutic and when is it relaxing? 

The main difference between the two types of massage is their purpose. The relaxing massage aims to remove stress and overall relaxation of the body, while therapeutic massage aims to treat various forms of pain.

Although both types of massage share many common characteristics and benefits, their main difference lies in the application technique. The massages included in each treatment differ in handling, pressure points and the intensity with which they will be applied.

What movements does a relaxing massage involve?

The movements in a relaxing massage are gentle and regulated, designed to induce relaxation and well-being. These moves include:

  • Gentle and harmonious movements made with the hands on the skin to warm the muscle tissue and break the tension.
  • Pressing and shaking movements aimed at relieving muscle tension and releasing possible knots.
  • Movement involving the tightening and relaxing of muscles with the fingers and palms.
  • Movements that include light friction on the skin to improve blood circulation.
  • Light strokes with the fingers, palms or backs of the hands that cause a feeling of revitalization.

These movements are performed with sensitivity and attention to the client's needs and preferences in order to provide the ultimate feeling of relaxation.
