Discover the massage style that fits your needs, not just a trend
At Hair & Soul Wellness Hub in Lilydale, we believe massage should never be one-size-fits-all. Each person walks in with unique tension patterns, stress levels, and lifestyle habits. That’s why choosing the right massage technique matters.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, carrying stress in your shoulders, or simply seeking a moment of peace, this guide will help you understand which massage style is best suited for you.
Relaxation Massage
Best for: Stress relief, better sleep, overall wellbeing
Relaxation massage uses gentle, flowing strokes designed to calm the nervous system and reduce stress. It doesn't aim to treat deep muscle issues but works wonders for emotional and mental recovery.
You’ll benefit if you:
-
Often feel anxious or mentally fatigued
-
Want to improve sleep quality
-
Simply need time to rest and reset
Deep Tissue Massage
Best for: Muscle tension, chronic pain, posture correction
This massage goes beyond the surface. It targets deeper muscle layers using firm pressure and slow strokes. It's ideal for persistent aches caused by posture, injury, or physical strain.
You’ll benefit if you:
-
Experience regular pain in your back, neck, or shoulders
-
Spend long hours sitting or working physically
-
Want noticeable relief and structural balance
Remedial Massage
Best for: Injury recovery, muscle rehabilitation, targeted therapy
Remedial massage is focused and often combines assessment with technique. Your therapist will customise the session to relieve pain, improve function, and support healing.
You’ll benefit if you:
-
Are recovering from an injury or have restricted movement
-
Need a clinical, results-focused treatment
-
Prefer a massage guided by both touch and knowledge
Aromatherapy Massage
Best for: Emotional balance, gentle relaxation, sensory release
Combining light massage with essential oils, aromatherapy supports both physical and emotional wellness. Oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus are selected to suit your mood or symptoms.
You’ll benefit if you:
-
Feel mentally overwhelmed or emotionally unsettled
-
Respond well to scent and light pressure
-
Prefer a holistic approach to relaxation
Hot Stone Massage
Best for: Poor circulation, fatigue, stress release
Warm stones are used to ease muscle stiffness and encourage circulation. The heat allows for deeper relaxation without heavy pressure. It’s ideal for those who feel cold, tired, or sluggish.
You’ll benefit if you:
-
Feel tight but don’t enjoy deep pressure
-
Seek warmth and a nurturing experience
-
Want full-body relaxation with minimal discomfort
