Relaxation Massage
Relaxation Massage is a gentle, full-body massage designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and help your body completely unwind. Using long, flowing strokes and light to moderate pressure, this soothing massage encourages deep relaxation while improving circulation, easing muscle tension, and supporting your overall well-being.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, experiencing mental fatigue, recovering from a busy season of life, or simply taking time for self-care, Relaxation Massage offers a peaceful space to slow down and recharge. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to your comfort level, allowing both your body and mind to settle into a state of deep relaxation.
Unlike Therapeutic Massage, which focuses on specific areas of pain or dysfunction, Relaxation Massage emphasizes calming the entire body and creating a restorative experience. While many clients notice relief from everyday muscle tension, the primary goal is to reduce stress, quiet the mind, and promote a lasting sense of balance and well-being.
At Miche Rome’s Therapeutic Healing, every Relaxation Massage is personalized to your individual preferences. Pressure, pace, and techniques are adjusted throughout your session to create an experience that feels nurturing, comfortable, and restorative from beginning to end.
If you’re looking for a Relaxation Massage in Ann Arbor, Michelle provides a welcoming environment where you can disconnect from life’s demands and reconnect with yourself through personalized massage therapy.
What Is Relaxation Massage?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Relaxation Massage and Therapeutic Massage?
Relaxation Massage is designed to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being using gentle, flowing techniques. Therapeutic Massage focuses more specifically on relieving pain, improving mobility, and addressing areas of muscle tension or dysfunction.
How much pressure is used during a Relaxation Massage?
Pressure is generally light to moderate and is always adjusted to your comfort level. The goal is to help your muscles relax without causing discomfort.
Is Relaxation Massage good for stress and anxiety?
Many clients find that Relaxation Massage helps them feel calmer, more grounded, and less affected by the physical symptoms of everyday stress. While massage isn’t a treatment for anxiety disorders, it can be a valuable part of an overall self-care and wellness routine.
How often should I receive a Relaxation Massage?
That depends on your goals. Some clients enjoy a monthly massage for general wellness, while others benefit from more frequent sessions during periods of increased stress.
What should I wear to my massage appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing to and from your appointment. During your massage, you’ll be appropriately draped with sheets at all times, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered.
Is Relaxation Massage a full-body massage?
Most Relaxation Massage sessions include the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet, and, if desired, the scalp. Your massage can always be customized based on your preferences and areas you’d like to focus on or avoid.
