Aromatherapy massage
Aromatherapy is a flowing, full-body massage with essential oils, at a gentle-to-medium pressure that is made for winding down. It is a good fit if the goal is to switch off, ease everyday stress, and sleep better afterwards, rather than to chase a single knot. Many people find it the easiest way to properly slow down for an hour. Book aromatherapy massage.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue is firm, slow, targeted work into the deeper muscle layers, and it is the one to book when you can point to where it hurts. It suits stubborn tension, knots, and the familiar back-and-shoulder tightness that builds up from desk days or training. Expect real pressure with room to dial it up or down as you go — Jade works with your feedback, not against it. Book deep tissue massage.
Indian head massage
Indian head massage focuses on the scalp, neck, shoulders and upper back, and you stay fully clothed throughout — which makes it a gentle, low-commitment first massage. It is well suited to tension carried in the head and neck and to screen fatigue after long days. The pressure is light to medium and easy to settle into. Book Indian head massage.
Still not sure? You do not have to decide in advance
Every session starts with a short consultation, so you are not locked in by the name you clicked. Tell Jade how you are feeling and where you are holding tension, and she matches the pressure and focus to you — easing off, going deeper, or spending more time on your shoulders as needed. If you are genuinely torn, book the treatment that is closest and let the consultation do the rest. You can also read our full guide to massage in Wilmslow or see all eight treatments on the massage service page.
Make it more than a massage
Your massage sits in the same building as our other treatments, so it is easy to build a longer reset around it. Add float therapy before your massage to arrive already unwound, or pair it with contrast therapy — our infrared sauna and ice bath — for a fuller recovery session. You will find timings and combinations on the pricing page.
Massage FAQs
Which massage is best for stress?
Aromatherapy is the usual choice for stress and winding down — it is a gentle, flowing full-body massage designed to help you switch off. Indian head massage is a good alternative if your stress shows up mainly as tight shoulders and a busy head.
Which massage should I get for back and shoulder tension?
Deep tissue is the one most people book for stubborn back and shoulder tightness, because the firm, targeted pressure works into the deeper muscle layers. Mention exactly where it feels tight during your consultation and Jade will focus there.
Which massage is best for a first-timer?
Indian head massage is an easy way in: it is 45 minutes, light to medium pressure, and you stay clothed. If you would prefer a full-body treatment, aromatherapy is the gentler of the two full-body options compared here.
Can I combine treatments?
On the day, your massage is a single treatment rather than a mix, but the consultation lets Jade blend focus and pressure to suit you. For a bigger reset, you can pair a massage with float therapy or contrast therapy in the same visit — see the pricing page for options.
How do I choose between them?
Start with how you feel: switch off means aromatherapy, a specific ache means deep tissue, and head or neck tension means Indian head. Beyond that, trust the consultation — you can always adjust once you are on the table. Our FAQs page covers the practical details.
