What is full body massage?
A full body massage works every major area in one session: back, shoulders, neck, arms, hands, legs, feet and usually the scalp and face. It is a format rather than a single technique. Most therapists deliver it in a Swedish style, but it can be relaxing, deep tissue, aromatherapy or hot oil depending on what you ask for.
The value of covering everything is that tension rarely lives in one place. A tight lower back is often driven by the hips and hamstrings; a headache by the neck and jaw. A full body session lets the therapist follow those connections instead of working one area in isolation.
Sixty minutes is the shortest realistic full body session and it moves briskly. Ninety allows proper time on each area; two hours is a treat rather than a routine. When comparing rates on the site, check the duration: a cheaper sixty-minute "full body" may in practice be a back, neck and legs treatment.

Where to find it in Bristol
Ninety minutes is the standard booking rather than the upgrade, a noticeable share of therapists hold yoga, reiki or counselling qualifications alongside massage, and the consultation at the start of a first session tends to be longer. Clifton has the best-regarded and most expensive end, often in dedicated treatment rooms above the shops on Whiteladies Road, and it is the place to find shiatsu, lomi lomi and pregnancy specialists. Redland is its quieter residential neighbour; Harbourside covers the hotels and the mobile trade.
