Relaxing massage Edinburgh, sports massage and spa massage

In need of a Relaxing massage in Edinburgh? Then look no further.  This massage option will leave you feeling rejuvenated. NTB's Relaxing massage therapy is the perfect antidote to tension and stress, and is purposely designed to ensure you leave us feeling calm and centred.

Your relaxing massage therapist will use a mixture of gentle massage techniques which will help to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension and bring the body back to its natural relaxed state.

Relaxing Massage can:

• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep
• Boost your mood
• Build up your immune system
• Improve circulation

Relaxing massage stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, the happy hormones that reduce stress and increase relaxation.

Swedish massage is a relaxing form of spa massage therapy with additional healing properties. Swedish massage is the foundation of European massage and is based on the body's physiology, rather than spiritual healing. Its techniques are directed at the upper muscle layers, and are efficiently designed for relaxation, stress reduction and rejuvenation from head to toe.

Specialist techniques include applied pressure, kneading, rolling and stroking, mixed with gentle fluid massage across the body.

Many clients choose a Swedish relaxing massage for the wellbeing and nurturing experience it provides. By relaxing the mind the physical body is also proven to benefit. 

Swedish massage is recommended for those seeking:

• Relaxation; reduced stress and anxiety
• Relief from sore muscles and stiff joints
• Improved skin tone and blood circulation 
• Energy boost
• Improved sleep and help with insomnia

Whichever massage you choose it can be tailored to your requirements, by amending the techniques, focus areas and level of pressure applied. Just tell us if you would prefer more time spent on one area over another - not a problem. Your therapist will discuss this with you in your consultation before the session starts.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi ('rub rub'!) is one of our most popular spa massage options. Lomi is a relaxing massage and uses long deep strokes, applied from the hands and forearms. The traditional ritual heals the body, with its flowing strokes often unlocking emotional tension as well as physical ones. Sarong draping, warmed almond oil, a bespoke soundtrack and a heated massage table all contribute to making this a truly magical experience.

A hot stones massage is perfect for those who need to unwind and relax. Our spa massage therapist will use a variety of smooth, heated basalt stones as an extension of their own hands, or place them on the body to promote relaxation. The addition of heat not only provides added comfort and sensation, it aids deep tissue massage as muscles release their tension quicker. For relaxing massage Edinburgh, this is hard to beat!

As the name suggests, deep tissue massage penetrates deeper muscle layers and can prevent injury or accelerate recovery from muscular issues. You can expect a short consultation to understand your specific requirements, followed by an immediate treatment. Your therapist will be specifically trained in clinical sports therapy.

Expect the same level of quality care whether you're a professional athlete or just joining the gym. We'll share an aligned goal to keep you kicking, pedalling, lifting, serving etc at your very best. In addition to sports massage your treatment may include ultrasound, hot stones, hot/cold therapy, Theragun application etc to achieve your goals (no additional costs apply).

MLD encourages the body's lymphatic system to eliminate waste, reducing swelling helping strengthen the immune system. Please note this is not suitable if you are currently unwell. A spa massage consultation will be completed to ensure no contraindications and design a treatment specific to your needs.

ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is one of our newer massage options, specifically developed to trigger the tingly sensation that many people experience in response to personal attention, whispering, tapping noises and exposure to lights. We've therefore created a popular relaxing massage Edinburgh experience that includes:

• enhanced personal attention
• a beautifully light full body massage, with extra focus on the back, shoulders and neck, and
• stimulating sounds / lights to really get your ASMR tingles flowing.
