A full body massage covers all the main areas of your body in one session. It's based on Swedish massage, known in Germany as klassische Massage, the style most other Western massage techniques grew out of.

Your therapist works through your body in order, usually starting with your back and shoulders and the backs of your legs, then the fronts of your legs, your arms and your neck once you turn over. Nothing gets skipped.

Swedish massage uses five main strokes:

• Effleurage: long, gliding strokes that warm the muscles and link one area to the next. A session usually starts and ends with these.
• Petrissage: kneading and squeezing the muscles to work into tension.
• Friction: small circular movements that work into tight spots.
• Tapotement: light, rhythmic tapping with the edge of the hands.
• Vibration: gentle shaking that helps loosen the muscles.

Because it covers so much, a full body massage needs at least 60 minutes. If you only want certain areas done, or have 30 minutes, a relaxing massage is the better choice.

Back, legs, arms and neck: nothing gets left out, so you leave feeling that your whole body has had attention, not just the part that was shouting loudest.

Massage can help release tightness that builds up across the body, not only in the neck and shoulders but in the legs, hips and arms too.

Many people say they feel looser and move more freely after a full body massage, especially after a long week of sitting at a desk or training hard.

Even at a firmer pressure, an hour of steady, rhythmic massage is a good way to step out of a busy week.

As a classic all-round treatment, it's a sensible choice if you like to book a massage every few weeks.

A full body massage suits most adults. It's a good choice if you carry tension in several places, if you're active and want an all-round treatment, or if you simply like to have everything done.

If one area needs focused, deeper work, a deep tissue massage or sports massage will suit you better. If you'd like something gentler, or only have 30 minutes, choose a relaxing massage.

Tell us before you book if you have a fever or infection, a recent injury or operation, a skin condition in the area to be treated, a blood-clotting disorder, or any condition you're currently being treated for. If you're unsure, check with your doctor first. If you're pregnant, book a pregnancy massage instead.

Your full body massage takes place in one of our warm, quiet treatment rooms at Winterfeldtstraße 17. Choose 60 or 90 minutes and the therapist you'd like. 90 minutes gives your therapist extra time on the areas that need it most.

Before you start, your therapist asks about pressure and any problem areas, and you can ask for firmer or lighter pressure at any time. Between them, our therapists speak German, English, Arabic, Farsi, Spanish, Russian, Greek and Japanese.

You can book online at any time and pay by card, PayPal or cash.
