The Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Massage

Choosing a massage can feel overwhelming when you’re faced with a long menu of options. Each style has distinct benefits and is suited to different needs and preferences. Here’s our therapists’ guide to making the right choice.

Swedish Massage

Best for: Relaxation, stress relief, first-time massage clients
Pressure: Light to medium
What to expect: Long, flowing strokes, gentle kneading, and rhythmic tapping to relax the entire body. Ideal if you simply want to unwind.

Deep Tissue Massage

Best for: Chronic muscle tension, pain relief, postural problems
Pressure: Firm to deep
What to expect: Slow, concentrated strokes targeting deep muscle layers and connective tissue. May cause some discomfort in tight areas — always communicate with your therapist.

Hot Stone Therapy

Best for: Deep relaxation, poor circulation, muscle stiffness
Pressure: Medium
What to expect: Smooth, heated volcanic basalt stones are placed on key points of the body and used as extensions of the therapist’s hands. The heat penetrates deeply and is incredibly soothing.

Aromatherapy Massage

Best for: Emotional wellbeing, anxiety, hormonal balance
Pressure: Light to medium
What to expect: A personalised blend of essential oils is chosen based on your mood and needs, then incorporated into a gentle full-body massage.
