What is Russian massage?
Russian classical massage was developed as a therapeutic and sports recovery method. It uses four core techniques: stroking, kneading, friction and vibration. The pace is brisk and invigorating rather than sleepy, and the focus is on warming the tissues, improving blood flow and restoring muscle tone.
Benefits
- Speeds up muscle recovery after exercise
- Improves circulation and lymphatic flow

Who it suits
Russian massage is ideal for active guests, gym-goers and anyone who wants a massage that wakes the body up rather than sends it to sleep. It is also a good alternative to deep tissue if you want strong work without slow, sustained pressure.
