The purpose of a relaxation massage is more to relax your mind then it is to relax your muscles - although muscle relaxation takes place as well. The therapist will use light to medium pressure and will avoid the pin point type of pressure that can cause minor discomfort. Massage techniques that address the large superficial muscles in your body are much more prevalent during the relaxation massage then are massage techniques that address deeper muscles. Relaxation massages are full body massages and are excellent for increasing circulation, helping with general muscle fatigue, calming the nervous system and most importantly, relaxing the mind.
