Relaxation and Anti-Stress Massage
Sometimes you do not need a treatment “for” something, just an hour in which nobody asks anything of you. Relaxation massage is exactly that: quiet time, with slow movements, warm oils or gentle pressure, in a calm space. At BodyBar Studio in Botanica we have several treatments designed for relaxation. They are care and wellbeing treatments, not medical treatments for stress or anxiety.
How to choose
Balinese Massage uses warm oils, long strokes and light stretches, and the session is available in 50 or 75 minutes. Aromatherapy Massage adds the pleasant scent of essential oils and a very calm pace. Head and Scalp Massage (30 minutes) is a short, focused break. Reflexology (30 minutes) is based on pressure on reflex points of the feet, hands or ears and is a relaxation method, not a medical treatment.
What you may feel afterwards
Many clients say they feel calm, with a lighter body and a clearer mind. The effect differs from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. If you are dealing with prolonged stress, insomnia, anxiety or other persistent symptoms, talk to a doctor or a specialist; massage can be a support, but not a treatment.
To get the most from it
- arrive 5 minutes early and leave your phone in your bag;
- tell your therapist what pressure you prefer and which scent you do not like;
- book a time when you are not in a rush afterwards;
- drink water after the massage and give yourself a few quiet minutes.
Allergies and precautions
If you have allergies to oils or fragrances, tell us before the session; some essential oils can irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction. Massage is not done with fever, acute inflammation, wounds or skin conditions in the area to be worked. If you are pregnant, have had a recent blood clot, have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners, or have another health condition, speak to your doctor first.
