About
Spot massage is a focused 30-minute session for those who do not have time for a full-body massage or whose tension is concentrated in one area. The area you choose gets the whole session, so in a short time it receives far more attention than it would in a full-body massage.
Which area can you choose?
- Back and shoulders: for the fatigue of long hours at a desk.
- Neck and head: for a neck and shoulder line tightened by screen time, and tired eyes.
- Legs: for those who stand or walk a lot through the day.
What happens during the session?
- Choosing the area: Before the session, you choose the area to focus on and your preferred pressure.
- Warm-up: The area is warmed with one of our aromatic oil blends or an unscented, neutral oil.
- Focused work: Medium-pressure Swedish strokes, deeper pressure on tight spots and light stretches are used.
- Closing: A few calm strokes finish the session, followed by herbal tea.
The session lasts 30 minutes with medium pressure.
Who is it for?
It suits anyone who wants a short break at lunchtime or between meetings, people with intense tension in one area and those looking for a small addition to their weekly spa routine. It can also be a closing treatment after a longer hammam ritual or facial.
When to be careful
- A new injury, sprain or swelling in the area you choose
- For the neck and head option: a herniated disc in the neck or frequent, severe headaches (consult your doctor first)
- For the legs option: varicose veins or a history of blood clots
- Pregnancy
- Sensitivity to oils or fragrances (you can choose a neutral oil)
Spot massage or a full-body massage?
- Classic Swedish Massage: if you have time, 50 or 70 minutes of relaxation covering the whole body.
- Deep Tissue Massage: deeper, longer work for settled tension in the back and shoulders.
- Shiroabhyanga Massage: in the same 30 minutes, an Ayurvedic head massage with warm oil for the scalp, neck and shoulders.
After your session
- As it is a short session, you can go straight back to your day after a few minutes' rest.
- Remember to drink some water.
- If you are heading back to your desk, raising your screen to eye level and taking a short stretch break every hour helps the relief last longer.
About Spot Massage
Is a 30-minute massage enough?
Because it focuses on a single area, 30 minutes is more time than that area would get in a full-body massage. For all-over relaxation we recommend one of our full-body massages; for a short break for one tired area, spot massage is the right choice.
Can I have a spot massage during my lunch break?
Yes. At 30 minutes, it fits into a lunch break or between appointments. After a few minutes' rest you can go straight back to your day.
Is the neck and head option suitable for people who work at a screen?
Yes, this option is designed especially for people who spend long hours in front of a screen; the neck, shoulder line and scalp are worked. If you have frequent, severe headaches, we recommend consulting your doctor first.
Can spot massage be combined with another treatment?
Yes. It can be a closing treatment after a longer hammam ritual or facial. If you would like two treatments back to back, you can plan your appointment with your branch.
How long does a Spot Massage session take?
A Spot Massage session takes 30 minutes. You can choose the duration that suits you when booking.
Who is Spot Massage suitable for?
Spot Massage is suitable for those seeking quick relaxation, those with tension in one specific area, guests on a short break and those wanting a quick refresh. Please let us know before your appointment if you are pregnant, have had recent surgery or have a chronic condition.
Which areas does Spot Massage focus on?
The treatment focuses on back or neck-shoulder or legs (your choice). You can agree your priority areas with your therapist at the start of the session.
What is included in a Spot Massage session?
The session includes aromatic oil, warm towels and herbal tea.
