Types of massage
We offer traditional Swedish, Deep tissue and pregnancy massages, a range of Lymphatic Drainage massages and also Sports Massage at Aqua-Tox.
If you are looking for relaxation or have some tightness a Swedish or Deep Tissue massage could be right for you.
Our Lymphatic Drainage massages offer a lighter massage aimed at stimulating the lymphatic system to help eliminate toxins and enhance recovery from surgery. We offer both MLD and Brazilian techniques. Traditional MLD uses very gentle light pressure to stimulate lymph flow, which reduces swelling, can help improve immune function and promotes the body’s natural healing process. Brazilian MLD incorporates more vigorous and deeper techniques, including myofascial release. It blends both lymphatic drainage with contouring and sculpting techniques which can help with post surgical swelling, cellulite reduction and overall body contouring.
Our in house Sports Therapist, offers a range of 30 or 60 minute sports massages and can combine this with cupping, dry needling and taping to help recovery from injuries.

Massage FAQs
What is included in a full body massage?
A full body massage is exactly what it says and is a massage covering the full body.
You will usually begin lying on your front so that the therapist can treat your back, neck and shoulders and the back of your legs. Around halfway through the treatment the therapist will help you to turn over and will complete the remainder of your massage on your legs, abdomen, chest, shoulders, face and head. Each treatment is individual so this can be adapted dependent on your wishes. For example not everyone will enjoy or want abdominal, facial or head massage as part of the treatment.
How do you prepare for a full body massage?
You should prepare for a full body massage by ensuring that you are well hydrated with water or herbal tea, and have not consumed excessive amounts of caffeine or any alcohol. You should eat a light meal beforehand to ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment.
How do you prepare for a Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage?
You should prepare for your massage by ensuring that you are well hydrated with water or herbal tea, and have not consumed excessive amounts of caffeine or any alcohol.
For Manual lymphatic and Brazilian Manual lymphatic massages we suggest not eating for at least 2 hours before your massage.
What do I need to do after a massage?
After your massage you should stay well hydrated with water or herbal tea. You should leave the oil on your skin for as long as you can for enhanced skin benefits. Where possible you should also try to rest for the remainder of the day to prolong the relaxing effect.
What do you wear for a massage?
Before beginning a full body massage your therapist will welcome you into the room and ask you some questions before leaving the room whilst you undress.
In most cases a massage therapist will ask you to remove all clothing apart from your underwear and to position yourself on the bed under a towel before they return to the room. For most massages it is advisable to remove your bra if you are comfortable to do so as this provides better access to your back and will often be more comfortable for you too.
The massage therapist will protect your modesty at all times, using towels to cover you throughout the massage.
Do I have to talk during a massage?
No, you do not. It is entirely up to you whether you would like to talk during the massage or enjoy pure rest and relaxation without the need to speak. Your therapist will usually ask for your preference before starting the massage. The massage therapist may speak to you towards the beginning of the treatment to ensure you are comfortable and the pressure is at a good level for you.
Should I shave before a massage?
There is no need to shave before a massage, this is purely a personal preference. Your massage therapist will perform the same quality of massage on shaved or unshaved skin.
How often should you get a full body massage?
Regular massage can have fantastic health benefits but the frequency at which you should have a full body massage is purely personal based on your health and wellbeing goals.
For Manual Lymphatic or Brazilian Manual Lymphatic Massages a course of massages could be required if you are having the massages post surgery or have more severe swelling.
What should I not do before a massage?
Before a massage you should eat a large meal, drink alcohol or consume excessive amounts of caffeine.
For the ultimate relaxation experience combine your massage with one of our luxury facials.
