Oil massage, also known as oil-based massage, is a type of massage that involves the use of warm or cool oil and various massage techniques to promote relaxation, relieve tension and improve overall well-being.

​

During an oil massage, the massage therapist applies the oil to the skin and uses long, smooth strokes, kneading, and circular motions to work the oil into the muscles.

 

The therapist may also use other techniques, such as tapping, vibration, and stretching, to help release tension and promote relaxation.

​

The benefits of oil massage are:

• Relaxation and stress relief

• Improved circulation

• Pain relief

• Improved flexibility and range of motion

• Improved skin health and texture

 

It is important to note that oil massage may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions such as skin allergies or certain types of cancer. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before trying oil massage, especially if you have any concerns or pre-existing medical conditions.
