Benefits of an energising massage

  • An oxygen boost to your brain and muscles

  • Energising massage techniques like tapotement

  • The massage equivalent of an espresso

Why we recommend it

Ideal at the start of the weekend or after a long flight, our energising massage does what it says on the tin. Rhythmic tapping and firm massage strokes get your blood pumping and your energy going.

Hop off the table feeling refreshed and alert, almost like you had a perfect night's sleep.

What happens during an energising massage?

Once your mobile massage therapist has set up their table, they'll take you through a brief consultation.

Enjoy a full-body massage that focuses on tapping and pounding in a quick, rhythmic manner.

To get your blood pumping and oxygen flowing, these are combined with effleurage (long strokes) and kneading.

It's important to postpone getting a massage if you're sick with a fever or flu-like symptoms, or if you have a contagious skin condition, in order to protect both you and your therapist. Therapists have the right to stop seeing you if they believe it will cause any harm to you or them.

Ask your doctor for advice before scheduling a massage if you have a health condition and are unsure.
