Top 10 Beauty Massages

Getting a massage when visiting a spa can represent a great way to relax, and can also provide you with treatments that can have long term health benefits in terms of muscle tension. Massages available at a detox retreat, for example, can allow you to unwind while enjoying other complementary therapies, which can include nutritional advice and hypnotherapy. What, then, are some of the top ten massages that you should try the next time you visit a spa or a retreat?

1. Deep Tissue Massages

Designed to provide you with a strong all over treatment, deep tissue massages are more intense than standard massages, and can help to both relieve stress and re-align tired muscles.

2. Aroma Facial Massages

Combining essential oils with massage, these facial treatments can involve gently working on your face and scalp to lower your stress levels; they can also help to reduce any puffiness around your eyes. These massages can be carried out as part of an extended spa treatment to detox and prepare your body for more treatments.

3. Sports Massages

These can come in many different forms, but effectively involve your muscles being massaged to relieve aches and pains, and to prevent knots and problems that might lead to cramps. Massages can also be given to boost circulation before and after exercise.

4. Swedish Massages

A more traditional form of massage, these involve a gentle range of treatments that combine kneading with stroking, vibration, and other techniques to relax your muscles. This type of massage tends to be offered as part of introductory packages at spas and retreats.

5. Thai Massages

Typically carried out as a full body massage, Thai massages target your body’s energy lines, and work at your muscles to increase flexibility and reduce joint pain; they also tend to be carried out when you’re fully clothed, and don’t require the use of oils.

6. Hot Stone Massages

Ideal during the winter months, hot stone massages employ rounded stones, which are heated in water and placed around your body to warm up your muscle tissue.

7. Watsu Massages

This type of massage is carried out in Watsu pools, which contains water adjusted to your body temperature; you then float while a massage therapist carries out different treatments.

8. Nurturing Massages

Another relaxing form of massage, nurturing massages involve full body treatments that use oils and Himalayan salt poultices to improve your circulation.

9. Indian Head & Scalp Massages

A traditional form of massage, Indian head and scalp treatments work to increase your circulation, reduce tension and stress around the neck, and strengthen your back muscles and spine.

10. Aromatherapy Massages

Carried out using essential oils, this form of massage is typically combined with holistic therapies that relax and gradually de-stress your body’s muscles.
