Find Top 10 Best Full Body Massage Therapist Near Me

A full body massage which promotes relaxation and well being.

Manipulation of the superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue are initiated to aid in the healing process to promote relaxation and well being.

For a full-body massage, you can opt to keep your pants on or go completely in the buff. You'll find that most massage therapists are very skilled at protecting your modesty and making you feel comfortable; you'll never have to uncover anything you'd rather not.

Your therapist will explain how much you need to take off, give you a towel to cover yourself and then leave the room while you get ready.

She will knock a few minutes later before coming back in to do the treatment. She then only uncovers the bits she is working on.

If I have an "all body" massage, will it literally be my whole body?

A full-body massage doesn't have to include your sensitive areas. You can say which parts of your body you don't want to be touched.

A full-body massage usually includes your arms, legs, hands and feet, your neck and back, your stomach and buttocks. The area around the breasts is usually massaged but not the breasts themselves. You can always say you hate having your breast area or buttocks or whatever touched. If you're at all unsure, try booking for a "back, neck and shoulder" massage first to see how comfortable you are with being touched in those areas. If all goes well, then next time you can book a full-body massage.

Even with a full-body massage, most of you stays covered most of the time. Your therapist will unwrap your arm and shoulder, for instance, or uncover your leg while she massages that part of your body. When she needs you to turn over, she will hold the towel up as a screen so you can turn over in private. Simple when you know how!

Whether you choose a swedish massage or aromatherapy massage; Thai massage or deep tissue massage - all are designed to relax and reduce muscle tension and stress levels. Trust that your therapist is focusing on her massage techniques and ensuring you are having a personalised relaxing massage.

For some of the messier treatments, such as exfoliation and wraps, your massage therapist will give you a pair of very glamorous paper knickers to wear, which cover just the necessary bits. Even with these treatments, however, you will be covered most of the time. Afterwards, you hop into the shower covered by a towel to wash the products off your skin yourself.

If getting remotely naked is a no-go, but you still need some pampering and stress relief, opt for a heavenly head massage with essential oils or some soothing reflexology to work on those pressure points.

Will I be able to make sure I have a female masseuse?

Most spas will ask a woman if she minds if her therapist is male.

If you feel strongly about having only a female to massage you, let the spa know when you call to book your appointment. Most spas have enough therapists to adjust the rotas and make sure that you get what you want.

Male therapists are much more common abroad than in the UK, so if you are booking a spa holiday somewhere exotic, check whether you get a choice.

While your therapist will be able to tailor your session to your needs, a full-body massage typically covers:

• Your head, including the temples, crown, scalp and occipital muscles (at the back of your head)
• Your neck, including the nape and trapezius (a.k.a. The long muscles that run down the sides and connect to your back)
• Your shoulders, including along the collar bones, shoulder blades and upper back
• Your arms and hands
• Your upper and lower back, an area that commonly holds stubborn tension and tightness
• Your legs, including your buttocks, glutes, tights, calves and feet

There are stacks of different massage types, from sports massage to remedial massage as well as lymphatic drainage massage, pregnancy massage, couples massage, Swedish massage and even deep tissue massage.

If you’re looking for a gentle, restorative session that uses light pressure, a relaxation massage is going to be the perfect fit.

However, if you’re looking to unwind after a workout or get deep into tight muscles, a sports massage is likely to be a better option.

The ultimate aim of a full-body massage is to leave you feeling deeply resorted, energised and motivated to tackle your day pain-free. So whether you’re a massage newbie or a massage enthusiast  looking for a relaxing full-body release, a full body massage is a great way to wind down and give yourself the self-care you deserve.

After your full-body massage

This is the part you’ve been waiting for: it’s time to reap the benefits of your massage therapy session.

After your massage, you’ll feel deeply restored, relaxed and ready to roll into a warm bath or cosy up in bed. Any stress or tension will have melted away, and you might even feel a surge of energy and an extra spring in your step.

Plus, over the next 24 to 48 hours you’ll likely feel lighter, more energetic and might even notice extra mobility and flexibility.

To prolong that post massage glow, we recommend drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated, jumping in a warm shower or bath to release any toxins, doing a short meditation to keep you in that relaxed and mindful state.
