Girly question

Girly question

It's not a hair question this time .... it's massage !!

I'm trying to book a spa day as a treat. There are a number of different types of massage sessions on offer, but i'm not sure which to go for ....

-Aromatherapy Massage
-Indian Head Massge
-Swedish Head Massage
-Elemis Deep Tissue Massage
-Aroma Stone Therapy (?)

Indian Head Massage sounds good, but what about the others? are they all very similar??
I'm looking for a relaxation type of thing, not the sporty type.

Any massage experts out there ???

Why is this just for the girls? :spangled:

Go for a hot stones if you can - it massages at least 10 times deeper. Amazing.

I slept for about 14 hours the night I had one.

I want a full body one, preferably by a very fit bloke

There is a place in Whitley Bay that does full body for about £20.

what are the blokes like?

Got one of me workmates a full aromatherapy massage for her birthday, she reckons it was amazing.

Being sexist again probably .... but the therapists are always women aren't they?? Shame !!

I think I might get one when I'm on holiday, think they're included in the price

All woman im afraid.

What ... the women or the men

I meant massage but if there's any decent men over there.....

Re: Girly question

I would like all of the above please and now

ive done almost all of those @ college

indian head massage - its ok, works on the head/back/neck and shoulders.

aroma - really really nice, the therapist will blend the different oils used int he massage together for what u want out of the treatment like relaxation. works on almost every part of the body including the head

sweedish head - not ever heard of it, theres a sweedish BODY massage, really nice but aromatherapy is nicer

deep tissue - more for people who have very bad muscle tension, more like a sports massages not as relaxing

hot stone - this is incorpurated into a sweedish massage so half way through the massge u will get the stone put on to help balence out your body's energys to make u feel more balenced/happier etc

depending on where you go (the salon or spa) and the products that particular place specifies in, the massage will always be a little different to another salons massage if they use a different range of products

from experience i would say if u can afford it the aromatherapy one

my college salon does them for £10

the students work in it but we have to be qualified in the treatments we do and if theyre not done to a professional standard we're not allowed to work in there

i dare you to ask for extras!!!!

Sasha, when I got hot stones it was actually heated volcanic stones that were used (instead of hands/fingers) with loads of oils to massage my back. It was a really deep massage.

Thanks for the advice everyone ... I think I'll go for the aromatherapy one. I'd like to try all the others at your place though Sasha
Chinese massage sounds good, but Shenzen is a bit too far to travel

we do aroma @ our college did u say u worked @ the uni? we're on the 2nd floor at the newcastle college things there just pop in and get a treatment list thing

im doing my assesment for aromatherapy in about a month if u wanna come in for me it wont cost anything cause i need to be assesd on it


craig b - you can do hot stone therapy a lot of different ways that was just an example
