Best Full Body Massages near me in Waltham Abbey, Waltham Abbey

A full body massage is a therapeutic massage designed to help you relax and unwind. Your masseuse will massage your body from head to foot, front and back. A full body massage helps increase blood circulation, reduce blood pressure and anxiety, and helps you to relax as it releases those all important feel good endorphins.

The format of your full body massage will vary from salon to salon, but it will typically begin with you lying on your stomach so your therapist can work on your shoulders and back, all the way down to your legs and feet. You’ll be asked to turn over halfway through so that the massage can continue with you lying on your back. The massage will probably end at your neck or scalp. Techniques used will include effleurage, tapping, and kneading.

If you like feeling a sense of deep relaxation, then a full body massage is worthwhile. Full body massages can help with pain relief, too, so it’s worth telling your masseuse if you’d like them to focus on a specific area before your treatment begins.

Most full body massages last anything from 30-90 minutes depending on what you’ve booked. It’s best to ask how long your massage will take before you make your appointment.

It’s really down to budget and personal preference, but you’re likely to feel the benefit if you book in for a full body massage once every 2-4 weeks.
