The Stages of a Relaxation Massage

Typically, Janine's relaxation massage process entails the following steps:


  1. Client consultation: She will ask you about your medical history, current health condition and any specific concerns or areas of tension you would like addressed during the massage. 
  2. Preparation: You will be asked to lie down on a massage table. Janine may use warm towels or blankets to cover your body and create a comfortable and relaxing environment. 
  3. Effleurage strokes: Janine will begin by using long, gliding strokes called effleurage to warm up the muscles and prepare them for deeper massage techniques. 
  4. Kneading and petrissage strokes: She will use kneading and petrissage strokes to work out any knots or tension in the muscles. These techniques involve pressing, rolling and squeezing the muscles. 
  5. Trigger point therapy: If Janine identifies specific areas of tension or pain, she may use trigger point therapy to apply pressure to these areas and release the tension. 
  6. Stretching: Janine may also use stretching techniques to help improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension. 
  7. Closing: The massage will typically end with a few minutes of gentle, relaxing strokes to help you transition back to a state of wakefulness.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I get the most out of my relaxation massage?

    To get the most out of your experience, it's important to take time before and after the massage to relax. Before starting your session, take some deep breaths to create a sense of ease within yourself. Once you've settled in during your massage, focus on perceived tension as it melts away while actively engaging with your breathing. Afterward, take some time to reflect and enjoy feeling recharged. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel!

  • How should I prepare for a relaxation massage?

    Before your massage, it's important to take a few minutes to relax and clear your mind. You may want to practice deep breathing or meditation to help you calm your thoughts and get into a relaxed state. On the day of your massage, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. During the massage, try to relax your muscles as much as possible and focus on your breath. You may also want to visualise a peaceful scene or listen to calming music to help you unwind. If you experience any discomfort during the massage, be sure to communicate with your therapist so that they can adjust the pressure or technique as needed.

  • Can relaxation massage help to improve mental health?

    Research has shown that massage therapy can have positive effects on mood, anxiety and stress levels. When we experience stress, our bodies release the hormone cortisol, which can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms. Massage therapy has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, which can lead to a reduction in stress and anxiety. In addition to reducing stress, massage therapy can also stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood enhancers. Endorphins can help to improve our overall sense of well-being and reduce feelings of depression or anxiety. Finally, relaxation massage can provide a sense of connection and support that can be beneficial for those struggling with mental health issues.
