About the treatment

Relaxing body massage

A relaxing body massage is a gentle form of massage focused on calming, tranquility, and relaxation. Smooth, gentle movements and individually tailored pressure allow you to escape the daily hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in a pleasant sense of relaxation.

Depending on the selected time—30, 60, or 90 minutes—we focus on specific areas or offer a full-body massage. A shorter session allows for a moment of respite and attention to the areas that need it most. A longer session allows for more complete rest and a more relaxed work with the entire body.

You don't have to do anything or think about anything. This is a time when you can get comfortable, close your eyes, and allow yourself to rest.

Your visit, step by step

What happens during your visit?

After a brief discussion about your needs, we move on to the massage. We choose the areas to focus on and the pressure level you prefer.

In a comfortable, tranquil atmosphere, we perform a thorough massage using high-quality oil. The smooth rhythm and attentive touch create a moment of relaxation for the body and senses.

What results can you expect?

Above all, it brings pleasant relaxation, a sense of lightness, and peace. Massage helps relieve everyday muscle tension, reduce stress, and improve well-being.

After a session, you may feel more at ease in your body, breathe more calmly, and find it easier to rest. It's a moment of regeneration, after which you return to your day feeling well-cared for.

A moment just for you – to relax your body, quiet your thoughts and feel light.

FAQ

Good to know

Which body massage option should you choose?

Choose a relaxation time tailored to your needs. The relaxing body massage is available in three options: 30, 60, and 90 minutes.

30 minutes – Relaxation of a selected area.

A short session during which we focus on the areas most in need of relaxation – for example, the back, neck and shoulders, or legs. A good choice when you're short on time but need a quiet break.

60 minutes—full-body relaxation. This massage allows you to massage your entire body, combining muscle relaxation with pleasant relaxation. This is a great option if you want to take a break from your daily routine and dedicate a full hour to yourself.

90 minutes—more time for quiet and mindful work. A longer session allows for a relaxed pace, a full-body massage, and additional attention to specific areas. Choose this if you enjoy long massages and want to relax without rushing.

In each variant, we adjust the pressure and scope of the massage to your preferences and well-being.

Half an hour of respite, an hour of relaxation or an hour and a half just for yourself?

How to prepare for a visit?

Leave yourself a few minutes to relax and settle into a relaxing atmosphere. Choose comfortable clothing and take care of your personal hygiene—if you're arriving after physical work or a workout, shower beforehand.

Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before your massage. Drink water as needed, even after your session.

Tell us about any ailments, allergies, medications you're taking, pregnancy, or recent treatments. If your skin only tolerates certain cosmetics, you can bring your own tried-and-true massage product.

You do not need to bring towels or other supplies. We provide everything at the clinic and keep your body covered — only the area being massaged is exposed.

What is the difference between a relaxing body massage and a vagus nerve massage?

A relaxing body massage focuses on relaxation through gentle muscle work. Smooth movements and tailored pressure allow for attention to the back, legs, arms, and other targeted areas. The 30-minute version covers specific areas, while the 60- or 90-minute version provides time for a full-body massage.

Vagus nerve massage has a more calming nature. Our offerings focus on gentle work on the head, face, neck, and décolleté, with an emphasis on a relaxed pace, gentle touch, and comfort.

If you're dreaming of a full-body massage, choose a relaxing option. If you primarily need a gentle, soothing session and some peace and quiet, consider a vagus nerve massage.

Are there any additional options I can choose for the massage?

Create a session that suits your needs and will bring you even more pleasure.

Extra 15 minutes - you can extend the massage or allocate this time for an extra of your choice: a soothing scalp massage or a foot ritual that includes a scrub and massage combined with acupressure.

Cupping, or cupping massage, is a supplement to manual work for people who like more intense sensations, provided there are no contraindications.

Esthemax mask - facial care tailored to the type and current needs of your skin, which will pleasantly complement your rest.

From relaxed feet to a calm head, decide how you want to end your massage.

Can I bring a companion for the same treatment? Are couples massages available?

We invite you to relax together with your partner, friend or other loved one.

Before booking, please let us know you'd like to have both massages. We'll check the availability of both therapists and schedule a time together. Each massage is individually tailored, so you can choose a similar pressure or completely different preferences.

Time together, personal care - a pleasant idea for a date, spending Mother's Day together, meeting with a friend or a gift for two.

Is this treatment recommended for pregnant women?

A relaxing body massage can be a pleasant experience for expectant mothers, provided there are no contraindications and the intensity and body position are appropriately adjusted. Before your appointment, please inform us of your pregnancy and follow your doctor's recommendations. Some massage techniques may require modification during this time.

We especially recommend the "Pregnancy massage — ritual"—a 90-minute ritual designed for pregnant women. It includes a gentle dry body brushing, a gentle massage, and a moisturizing facial. We tailor the stages to your well-being, and special pillows help comfortably support your body. At our clinic, we invite you to this treatment from the second trimester, after consulting your doctor and assuming there are no contraindications.

We can also offer a gentle, relaxing version of Japanese facial massage or a peaceful Sound Healing Session, after discussing your needs and any contraindications.

Can I cancel or postpone my appointment?

If your plans change, please let us know at least 24 hours before your booked time.

You can change or cancel your appointment via the booking system, call +45 31 70 44 50 or write to hello@manualtherapies.dk.

Late cancellations may incur a 50% fee. No-shows without prior notice may result in a 100% fee.

If something urgent happens, please contact us – we will discuss the situation and find a solution.

Before you choose

Make your body massage in Copenhagen your own

The length of your visit and the areas you would like us to focus on both matter when choosing this treatment. Before we begin, we discuss your expectations and preferred pressure. Tell us if you would like us to focus on tension in your neck, or if rest is your main priority.

30, 60 or 90 minutes?

The options let you plan a shorter visit with a clear focus or allow more time for several areas. A longer massage does not automatically mean stronger pressure. If you are undecided, our comparison explains how the different session lengths work.

Comparing other approaches

Sports massage and deep tissue massage have their own descriptions and focus. Avoid choosing them only because they sound more intense. Compare the sessions and tell us whether you want a restful visit or more targeted bodywork.
