The classic Empire Full Body Massage manipulates the body's soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels) and uses strokes that flow toward the heart, improving blood circulation. By applying pressure and manipulating the muscles, a Empire massage helps to stimulate nerves located in different parts of the body. This classic massage involves gentle circular or gliding strokes. The masseuse applies different levels of pressure on the body to loosen knots.
The Empire will help with:

This massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body.

Deep pressure may be alternated by your Empire specialist with soothing strokes, depending on your needs.
