Why having a massage during the Christmas holidays feels extra great

A massage does so much more than relax you. It’s a smart reset for body and mind.

Better blood flow. The massage movements boost blood flow. Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your muscles and skin more efficiently, while waste products are cleared faster.
Less stiffness and muscle pain. Tense muscles are loosened up and tired areas feel lighter again.
Deeper sleep. Your breathing slows, your nervous system calms and you fall asleep more easily at night.
Soft, nourished skin. We use high-quality oils or creams that hydrate your skin and restore its healthy glow.
Feel-good boost. The positive sensation of touch of the massage movements stimulates the release of endorphins. These are known as the happiness hormones that give you an instant mood boost.

Did you know that a short 25-minute massage already has a noticeable effect on stress and muscle tension? Perfect to fit in between your festive planning.
Combine your massage with a day of sauna for double the relaxation! Warm up first in the sauna and book your massage for after your sauna session. The heat loosens up your muscles so the massage is able to target deeper tissues. Also, after your treatment, do chill out in the relaxation areas for a wonderful end to your wellness treat. Some time offline, feeling totally Zen. Pure bliss.
