Relaxation Massage in Sippy Downs

What this treatment involves

Relaxation massage uses long, flowing strokes with oil, applied at a consistent, unhurried rhythm across the body. Rather than concentrating on one problem area, it moves through the back, shoulders, arms, legs, neck and head so the whole body settles.

The pressure is light to medium and stays steady. Nothing is worked aggressively, and there are no sudden changes of pace — the predictability is part of what allows you to stop paying attention and drift.

It is the most straightforwardly enjoyable treatment on the menu, and there is nothing lightweight about choosing it. Plenty of clients book relaxation massage specifically because they do not want to be asked where it hurts.

Who books this treatment

• Anyone who is simply run down, wired or overdue for an hour with their phone off.
• People who find firmer treatments uncomfortable or off-putting.
• First-time massage clients who would like a gentle introduction.
• Clients booking a treatment as a break rather than to address a specific complaint.
• Anyone who wants the whole body attended to rather than one area worked in detail.

Pressure and technique

Light to medium, and consistent. If you want firmer work on a particular spot you can absolutely ask — but the treatment is designed around comfort rather than depth.

If you would like most of the hour spent on your back and shoulders, or the head massage extended, say so at the start. It is your hour.

You do not have to talk. Many clients prefer the treatment in near silence, and that is completely fine — just say so.

What to expect, and how to prepare

• A brief consultation about your general wellbeing, preferences and any relevant health considerations.
• Oil is used, and you are draped with towels throughout with only the area being worked on uncovered.
• A quiet, private, self-contained treatment room in Sippy Downs — not a shared space.
• Available as 60 minutes at $100 or 90 minutes at $150. Ninety minutes allows a genuinely unhurried full-body treatment.

Before you book — safety and precautions

• Tell Lee before your treatment begins about any injuries, recent surgery, pregnancy, skin conditions, medications such as blood thinners, or ongoing medical conditions. This is what allows the treatment to be adjusted safely for you.
• Postpone your appointment if you are unwell, feverish or have an infection. Let Lee know beforehand if you have a skin infection or open wound in the area to be treated, a clotting disorder, or are currently under treatment for a serious medical condition.
• Massage is not a substitute for medical care and is not used here to diagnose any condition. If you have undiagnosed or worsening pain, please see your doctor.

Afterwards

• Give yourself a few minutes before getting up and going. The benefit is largely in not rushing straight back out.
• Drink water, and try not to schedule anything demanding immediately afterwards.
• Feeling drowsy or a little spaced out for an hour or so afterwards is common and nothing to be concerned about.
• You are unlikely to be sore, since the pressure is gentle.
