- Why have a massage ?

Massages are often thought a bit as of fun, a way to relax, or a moment to be pampered, of which so many feel the need.
Some people, through massages, try to loosen psychic or muscular tensions, caused by bad posture or stress; others try to solve small ailments, usually physical or traumatic ones, such as a headache, a stiff neck, cervical arthritis and back pains.

The massages turn out to be a real, personal, sensorial experience and an excellent choice towards a state of physical and interior well-being.

In addition, here at SPA Ulysse you can also share the appealing experience of having a Couple Massage with your partner.

- When to have a massage ?

When you decide to have a massage, you should have in mind that it is an important moment dedicated only to Yourself, a moment that you need and that you deserve.

Choose a day and a moment in that day that is the calmest in which you know there won't be any disturbances or interruptions.

Make sure you won't arrive in a rush because it would be harder to relax and unwind or, likewise, make sure you don't have to leave immediately after so that the massage benefits won't disappear.

- How to enjoy a massage ?

When having a massage, make sure you keep your mind free.
Only think about relaxing, enjoying the treatment and being aware of your body and mind, whilst taking in all that the masseuse is offering you.
Remember that the massage connects the therapist with you so, free your mind and don't think about anything else.
This is YOUR personal massage experience.

Before commencing, please feel free to let the therapist know about any preferences concerning your massage, lighting, music or room temperature.
At any time during the massage, if any techniques or manoeuvres feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to inform the therapist who will make sure you will feel more at ease.

Let yourself go and be carried away without resistance; don't pay too much attention to small distractions that might occur (a background noise, a vibration, something you don't like in the room furnishings).

Enjoy the pleasant feeling of well-being, a state of abandonment whilst feeling inside of you a growing inner energy that will last for a few days.
