Time to slow down

Our focus is on slowing down, so that you have space to recuperate and be at your best out there in the intense and fast-paced world.

A relaxation session uses Swedish-style long strokes over the whole body, head to toe. The pressure is light to medium, and your therapist reads how your body responds and adjusts.

Want relaxation with a little more pressure, or a few niggles sorted while you’re there? Tell us when you book. It’s the “sweet spot” on our massage guide.

  • Stress, busy weeks and switching off

  • A full body reset after travel

Questions

Good to know

What’s the difference between Swedish and relaxation massage?
Swedish massage is the classic style of long, flowing strokes. Our relaxation sessions use it as a base, then your therapist adapts to what your body needs on the day.
Is it a full body massage?
Yes. A relaxation session covers the whole body unless you ask us to focus on certain areas.
Can I ask for lighter or firmer pressure?
Always. Tell your therapist at the start, or at any point during the session.
Are there showers?
Yes. Being inside Expand Health means you can use the showers and relaxation spaces before and after your session.
