A full body massage is a therapeutic treatment covering the entire body: typically the back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs and feet. Most sessions run 60–90 minutes and use a combination of gliding strokes, kneading and targeted pressure to release muscle tension, improve circulation and promote deep relaxation. The specific techniques vary by massage style: Swedish, Thai, deep tissue and remedial all have distinct approaches.

The format of your full body massage will vary from salon to salon, but it will typically begin with you lying on your stomach so your therapist can work on your shoulders and back, all the way down to your legs and feet. You’ll be asked to turn over halfway through so that the massage can continue with you lying on your back. The massage will probably end at your neck or scalp. Techniques used will include effleurage, tapping, and kneading.
