Massage in Burscough: Our treatment options compared
At Canal Side Massage, we provide Full Body Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Hot Stones Massage. Each treatment has a different purpose and feel.
1. Full Body Massage
Read more about our Full Body Massage
A Full Body Massage is a balanced option for clients who want general relaxation and attention across several areas of the body. The treatment can include the back, shoulders, arms, legs and other suitable areas, depending on your preferences.
This massage is often a good starting point if you are unsure which treatment to choose. It can also suit regular clients who want a straightforward way to reduce everyday tension.
- Relaxation: This massage is designed to help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
- General Tension: It helps to ease mild tightness across several muscle groups.
- Balanced Treatment: It provides attention to more than one area during your appointment.
- First Appointment: It may suit you if you are new to massage and want a general treatment.
- Regular Wellbeing: It can support a consistent self-care routine.
Choose a Full Body Massage if you want a practical all-round treatment without focusing mainly on one specific area.
2. Deep Tissue Massage
Read more about our Deep Tissue Massage
A Deep Tissue Massage uses more focused pressure to work on areas of muscle tension. It may be suitable if your shoulders, back, neck or legs often feel tight after work, exercise or daily activity.
Deep tissue massage can feel firmer than a general relaxing massage. Pressure should remain manageable, so communicate with your therapist during the appointment. We can discuss the areas you want to target and your preferred level of pressure.
- Focused Pressure: This massage is designed to work on areas of deeper muscle tension.
- Tight Muscles: It helps to address stiffness in commonly affected areas such as the back and shoulders.
- Active Lifestyles: It may suit people who exercise, stand for long periods or perform physical work.
- Muscle Recovery: It can support recovery by helping you focus on areas that feel overworked.
- Targeted Treatment: It allows more attention to be given to specific areas.
Choose a Deep Tissue Massage if your main aim is focused muscle work rather than a light, general treatment. It may not be the first choice if you are sensitive to firm pressure or mainly want a gentle relaxation session.
3. Hot Stones Massage

A Hot Stones Massage combines massage techniques with the use of smooth, heated stones. The warmth can create a soothing treatment experience and may help muscles feel more relaxed during the session.
This massage is often selected by people who want to reduce stress and enjoy a warm, calming treatment. It may also suit clients who experience general muscle tightness but do not want the stronger pressure associated with deep tissue massage.
- Warmth: This massage is designed to provide a comfortable heated treatment experience.
- Stress Relief: It helps to support relaxation when you feel busy or tense.
- General Tension: It may help muscles feel less tight through warmth and massage.
- Soothing Pressure: It can suit clients who prefer flowing, moderate pressure.
- Relaxation Routine: It may be suitable as part of regular personal wellbeing care.
Choose a Hot Stones Massage if comfort, warmth and relaxation are your main priorities.
