1. What is a relaxing massage?
A relaxing massage uses long, flowing strokes and gentle kneading at a steady, unhurried pace. The pressure stays light to medium. The aim isn't to dig into knots, it's to let your body and your head settle.
It uses the classic strokes most people picture when they think of massage, but you don't have to have your whole body done. If it's your back and shoulders that need it, your therapist can spend the whole session there. If it's your legs after a long week on your feet, that works too. You decide where they work and for how long.
That flexibility is the main difference from our full body massage, which covers you from head to toe and needs at least an hour.
2. What are the benefits of a relaxing massage?
A proper break for your head
For a lot of people the biggest benefit is simply switching off. Slow, rhythmic massage gives your mind something calm to follow, and half an hour can feel like much longer.
Easing tight muscles
Gentle massage can help loosen muscles that feel tight from sitting at a desk, standing all day or carrying stress around in your shoulders.
Feeling calmer afterwards
Many people say they feel calmer and more settled for the rest of the day after a relaxing massage.
A better night's sleep
Some people find they sleep better on the night of a massage, especially when they book it for the evening.
Time that's only for you
No phone, no messages and nobody asking you for anything. However long you book, that time is yours.
3. Is a relaxing massage suitable for you?
A relaxing massage suits almost everyone. It's a good first massage if you've never had one, and the right choice if firm pressure isn't for you.
If you want deeper work on knots or a particular problem area, a deep tissue massage or sports massage will suit you better. If you'd like every part of you covered, choose a full body 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.
4. How we can help you
Your relaxing massage takes place in one of our warm, quiet treatment rooms at Winterfeldtstraße 17, with exposed brick and soft lamplight. Choose 30, 60 or 90 minutes and the therapist you'd like. Between them, our therapists speak German, English, Arabic, Farsi, Spanish, Russian, Greek and Japanese.
At the start, tell your therapist where you'd like them to work and how firm you like it. They'll adjust as they go, and you can ask for more or less pressure at any time.
You can book online at any time and pay by card, PayPal or cash.
5. Frequently asked questions
Relaxing or full body massage: which should I book?
If you want your whole body covered from head to toe, book a full body massage (60 or 90 minutes). If you'd rather focus on certain areas, or only have 30 minutes, book a relaxing massage.
Can I have just my back done?
Yes. Ask your therapist to work only on your back, neck and shoulders, your legs, or whatever you need.
Is 30 minutes long enough?
For one area, like your back and shoulders, yes. For more than one area, 60 minutes gives your therapist time to work without rushing.
How firm is a relaxing massage?
Light to medium. If you'd like it firmer, just ask, or have a look at deep tissue massage.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable with. Some people keep their underwear on, some don't. Either way you're covered with towels, and only the area being worked on is uncovered.
How often should I have a massage?
There's no rule. Some people come every couple of weeks, others whenever they feel they need it.
