What is relaxing massage?

Relaxing massage puts the nervous system first. The pressure is light to medium, the strokes are slow and continuous, and nothing is done abruptly; the aim is to move you from an alert state into a genuinely rested one, which for many people is the hardest thing to do on their own.

Technically it draws on Swedish massage but drops the vigorous movements. Therapists often use warmed oil, a heated couch, dimmed light and quiet, and pay particular attention to the scalp, face, hands and feet, where the calming effect is strongest. It is the treatment for people who are overwhelmed, sleeping badly or simply worn down, rather than for a specific muscular problem.

Book 60 minutes at the least; the benefit builds in the second half hour. Ninety minutes is common. It is offered widely as a mobile treatment, since a session at home means you can go straight to bed afterwards.

Where to find it in Cardiff

The offering divides cleanly: Cardiff Bay is newer, apartment-based and geared to visitors and the hotels, with mobile treatments and hot stone and relaxing sessions in demand; Roath and Canton are residential, cheaper and serve a local clientele that books repeatedly with the same therapist for Swedish, sports and pregnancy work. The city centre covers the hotels and offices. The Principality Stadium dominates the calendar: on an international rugby weekend or a stadium concert, city-centre hotel visits are booked out days in advance and many therapists stop taking new enquiries by the Thursday.
