Full Body Massage
Head-to-toe treatment covering back, limbs, neck, scalp and feet
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.
Also known as: whole body massage, head to toe massage, full body oil massage.

Frequently asked questions
What does a full body massage include?
Back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs and feet as standard, with scalp, face, abdomen and glutes included or left out according to your preference. Say beforehand if there is anywhere you would rather not be worked on.
How long should a full body massage be?
Sixty minutes minimum. Ninety is better if you want each area treated properly rather than briefly.
How much does a full body massage cost in the UK?
Expect £45 to £75 for an hour and £65 to £110 for ninety minutes outside London; add roughly a third in the capital.
