Relaxation Massage
Slow down. Let go. Give your body a proper break.
Your relaxation massage at Body Nurture Massage is a calm, unhurried session designed to help your body settle and with time set aside just for you
Rebecca · Qualified Massage Therapist · $80 · 60 mins · Ballarat
A gentle reset for body and mind
Relaxation massage focuses on easing general muscle tension, calming the nervous system, and helping you feel more grounded in your body. Pressure is smooth and flowing rather than deep or corrective. The aim is to help your body feel relaxed enough to soften. Many clients leave feeling lighter, calmer, and clearer, with better sleep that night.
What This Session Is Best For
Relaxation massage is ideal if you’re experiencing:
-
Ongoing stress or mental overload
-
Tight shoulders, neck, or jaw from holding tension
-
Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest alone
-
Trouble switching off or sleeping deeply
-
A “wired but tired” feeling
-
General body tightness without a specific injury
-
Emotional heaviness or feeling overstimulated
-
A need for quiet, supportive touch rather than treatment-focused work
If your body feels overwhelmed rather than injured, this session is often the right choice.
Techniques Used
Relaxation massage uses steady, rhythmic techniques that encourage your body to downshift.
Your session may include
-
Long, flowing massage strokes
-
Gentle kneading to ease surface tension
-
Light to medium pressure, adjusted to your comfort
-
Calm pacing that allows your body to fully relax
The session follows what your body responds to best

How Often Should I Book?
This depends on how much stress your body is carrying.
High stress or burnout: weekly or fortnightly for a short period
Maintenance and prevention: every 3–6 weeks
During demanding life periods: regular sessions help stop tension building up
Many clients treat relaxation massage as nervous system maintenance, not a once-off treat.
1) Gentle check-in (2–5 mins)
We’ll briefly talk about how you’re feeling and what you want from the session — calm, rest, emotional release, or simply quiet time.
2) Settling in
The room, pace, and pressure are set to help you relax as quickly as possible.
3) Full-body relaxation massage
Smooth, continuous movements encourage muscle release and nervous system regulation.
4) Quiet finish
You’ll have time to rest before getting up, without being rushed.
5) Aftercare (optional)
Simple suggestions if helpful, hydration, gentle movement, or rest.
Relaxation Massage Treatments
This treatment uses steady, flowing techniques designed to help your body slow down and settle.
Rather than focused corrective work, relaxation massage supports your nervous system, easing the constant “on” feeling that builds with stress, menopause changes, poor sleep, or mental overload.
The focus is general relaxation and how your body feels overall. That might be tight shoulders from holding tension, fatigue that doesn’t lift with rest, or a wired-but-tired feeling that won’t switch off at night. You’ll usually notice longer, rhythmic strokes and a calm pace that allows your muscles to soften gradually.
The aim is deep relaxation, lighter breathing, reduced tension, and a sense of ease that carries with you after you leave.

Select your session duration
Your body doesn’t always need the same amount of time, choose what feels manageable and supportive right now.
If you need time to unwind without committing to a longer session, 60 minutes gives your body space to settle.
- General stress and tension
- Tight shoulders or neck from daily load
- When you need to reset and switch off
If you need time to properly unwind or a little more time to fully settle, 90 minutes gives your body that space.
- Ongoing stress or fatigue
- When your whole body feels tense
- Deep “wired but tired” exhaustion
Select your session length depending on how how much time you need to truly let go and releax.
