A massage is a therapeutic technique that uses movement and gentle pressure on the body to relax muscles, improve circulation, and release built-up tension.
It’s more than a luxury — it’s a natural way to care for your physical and emotional well-being.

A full-body massage works from head to toe — back, neck, arms, legs, feet, hands, and scalp.
It helps activate circulation, release toxins, and deeply relax every part of your body.

What does a full-body massage for men include?

The same great benefits — full relaxation and stress relief.
For men, we often focus more on the lower back, shoulders, and neck, where tension tends to build up most.

Prices typically range from $40 to $60, depending on the duration and the type of oils used.
