Relaxing 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

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.

What is CBD Oil?

We offer CBD oil as an optional addition to many treatments. CBD oil is proven to relieve tired muscles, soothing both the body and mind. It promotes deeper relaxation and a great night’s sleep.

Research suggests that topical CBD helps with anxiety, stress and insomnia. Its anti-inflammatory and pain reducing properties can help with all chronic forms of joint pain, as well as migraines.


Our CBD oil contains no THC, and so will not make you feel high or sleepy. It is safe, legal, you can still drive following treatment and it will not register in a drugs test.


The combined effect of an expert massage incorporating CBD oil is a deeper level of relaxation, soothing properties and pain relief.

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage

Hawaiian Lomi Lomi is a deeply relaxing traditional form of full body massage. The movements in Lomi Lomi are long, flowing and rhythmic, to mimic the movement of ocean waves. It is performed using warm almond oil to promote relaxation, with the therapist mostly using sweeping forearm movements.


The environment for Lomi Lomi is ultra calming, with a curated playlist to deepen your experience. Expect your muscles to feel treated and your head to feel relieved by this nurturing experience.

Hot Stones Massage

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 in Edinburgh, this is hard to beat.

Sports / Deep Tissue massage

Sports / Deep Tissue massage

Sports / Deep Tissue massage

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 qualified 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, pedaling, lifting, serving etc at your very best. In addition to sports massage, your treatment may include specialist stretching, ultrasound, hot stones, IASTM, KT taping, cryotherapy, other hot/cold therapies, Theragun application etc all to achieve your goals (no additional costs apply).
