Full body massage: relax from head to toe
A full body massage treats the entire body in one session — back, shoulders, arms, legs and neck. It is the classic choice when you want to treat not just one area but your whole body.
What a full body massage typically covers

What to look out for when booking

Frequently asked questions
A full body massage treats all the main areas of the body in one session: back, shoulders, neck, arms, legs and often hands or feet. The therapist typically works face down through the back and legs, then face up through the arms and front. Depending on the studio, oil massage, classic techniques or Thai style may be used.
Typically 60 to 90 minutes. 60 minutes is enough for a solid treatment of the main areas, 90 minutes allows more time for each body part. If you are booking a full body massage for the first time, 60 minutes is a good starting point.
That depends on the style. For an oil massage you generally undress and are covered with a sheet — only the area currently being massaged is uncovered. For Thai-style full body massages you stay clothed. Ask briefly when booking which style the studio offers.
The intensity varies depending on the studio and therapist. Most full body massages are pitched at a gentle to medium level — ideal for relaxation. If you want firm pressure, just say so beforehand. If you are sensitive, also let the therapist know — they will adjust to your preferences.
Full body massage suits most people — whether first-timers or regular massage guests. It is especially popular as a comprehensive break, after stressful work phases, or when you want to address several tense areas at once. For very specific complaints, a targeted massage may be more effective.
