What Is The Difference Between Therapeutic Massage And Relaxation Massage?
Therapeutic Massage vs. Relaxation Massage: Which One Is Right For You?
Many clients ask us:
“Should I book a Therapeutic Massage or a Relaxation Massage?”
The answer depends on your goals.
At Flow Massage & Spa in Downtown Edmonton, both treatments are designed to help you feel better, but they focus on different needs.
What Is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic Massage focuses on relieving pain, reducing muscle tension, and improving mobility.
It is ideal for people who experience:
● Neck and shoulder pain
● Lower back pain
● Muscle stiffness
● Headaches caused by tension
● Sports injuries
● Poor posture from desk work
Our Registered Massage Therapists use techniques such as:
● Deep tissue massage
● Trigger point therapy
● Myofascial release
● Stretching techniques
The goal is to address the root cause of discomfort and help your body recover.
What Is Relaxation Massage?
Relaxation Massage is designed to reduce stress and help you unwind.
This treatment focuses on:
● Improving circulation
● Promoting better sleep
● Reducing stress and anxiety
● Relaxing tight muscles
● Creating a peaceful experience
Many clients choose Relaxation Massage after a busy work week or simply as part of their self-care routine.
