Indications

It is a good solution for people exposed to chronic stress that causes muscle tension and a feeling of fatigue. The therapist’s gentle, flowing movements help reduce tension in the body and calm the nervous system. The result is deep relaxation and improved well-being.

People who work in a seated position or perform intense physical exertion often feel stiffness and muscle overload. A relaxing massage effectively relaxes tense tissues, improves circulation and supports muscle regeneration. It is a good way to unwind after a hard day’s work.

Recommended for people suffering from insomnia or difficulty falling asleep caused by mental or physical tension. It improves blood flow, relaxes the muscles and brings the body into a state of deep calm. Regular sessions can contribute to better sleep and regeneration.

Frequently asked questions

What does a relaxing massage involve?

It is a massage of the whole body or selected areas performed with flowing, rhythmic movements of moderate pressure. It calms the nervous system, relaxes the muscles and lowers the level of stress tension.

How long does a relaxing massage take?

Sessions of 45-90 minutes are available, the most popular lasting 60 minutes. Longer sessions allow the whole body to be covered at a calm, unhurried pace.

How often should you have a relaxing massage?

With chronic stress and sedentary work, optimally every 1-2 weeks; preventively once a month. Regularity consolidates the relaxation effect and improves sleep quality.

Does a relaxing massage help with stress-related pain?

Yes - it reduces tension in the neck, shoulders and back typical of stress and computer work, relieves tension headaches and improves well-being. For persistent complaints, manual therapy may be advisable.

How does a relaxing massage differ from a classic one?

A relaxing massage focuses on unwinding - a slower pace, fluidity, moderate pressure. A classic or sports massage works more firmly, targeting specific tension and overload.

How to prepare for the massage?

Arrive a few minutes early, after a light meal (not immediately after eating), without jewellery. Tell the therapist about any complaints, pregnancy or chronic diseases - they will adjust the techniques.

Can I return to my duties immediately after the massage?

Yes, although it is worth giving yourself a moment of calm and drinking a glass of water. Avoid intense exertion immediately after the session to prolong the state of relaxation.

Does a relaxing massage have contraindications?

Yes: fever and infections, acute inflammations, thrombosis, skin diseases in the massage area, fresh injuries; pregnancy requires adjustment of techniques. If in doubt, ask before your visit.

Is the massage performed with oils?

Yes - we use neutral massage oils that facilitate the flowing techniques. If you have fragrance or skin allergies, let us know - we will choose a fragrance-free product.

Can I choose the body area for the massage?

Of course - the session can be devoted to the whole body or to the most tense areas, e.g. the back, neck and head. We agree the scope at the start of the visit.

Is a relaxing massage good for sleep?

Yes - by lowering tension and activating the parasympathetic system, it improves falling asleep and sleep quality. Many patients schedule sessions for the late afternoon for exactly this reason.

How much does a relaxing massage cost in Wrocław?

A relaxing massage costs PLN 200 per hour in our price list.
