POPULAR SERVICE
What is Classic Massage?
Classic massage is one of the most widely practised techniques in the world, refined over centuries. Also known as Swedish massage, it was developed to relax the muscles, support circulation and bring about an overall sense of ease.
At Aren Spa Ankara Masaj Salonu, our experienced therapists skilfully combine the five core classic massage strokes: effleurage (gliding), petrissage (kneading), friction, tapotement (tapping) and vibration. Together, these techniques soften tension throughout the body and leave you with a deep sense of relaxation.
Our sessions use dedicated massage oils, and every treatment is tailored to your personal needs, with extra attention given to any areas you'd like us to focus on. If you have any significant health concerns, we recommend speaking with your therapist before the session begins.

BENEFITS
Benefits of Classic Massage
The main positive effects of this massage on your body and mind.
Supports Circulation
Massage strokes encourage blood flow, helping tissues receive oxygen and nutrients more efficiently.
Reduces Muscle Tension
Stiffness and tightness in the muscles ease off, improving flexibility and freedom of movement.
Eases the Feeling of Stress
By supporting the body's relaxation response, massage helps release the day's stress; research suggests regular massage can lower perceived stress levels.
Supports Sleep Quality
A fully relaxed body finds it easier to drift into a deeper, more restful sleep.
Supports Lymphatic Flow
Rhythmic movements help support lymphatic circulation, which can ease the feeling of fluid retention.
Eases Discomfort
Helps soothe tension-related discomfort in the back, neck and shoulders.
TECHNIQUES
Techniques We Use
01
Effleurage (Gliding)
Long, flowing strokes warm the muscles and stimulate circulation. Typically used at the start and end of the massage.
02
Petrissage (Kneading)
The muscles are gently squeezed, lifted and kneaded, reaching deeper tissue layers to release tension.
03
Friction
Circular or cross-fibre movements work into deeper tissue — an effective technique for releasing muscle knots.
04
Tapotement (Tapping)
Rhythmic tapping stimulates the muscles, leaving a feeling of energy and revitalisation.
05
Vibration
Fast, subtle vibrations relax the muscles, bringing the massage to a close with deep relaxation.

Got Questions?
Find the answers to what you'd like to know about this service below.
No, the classic massage isn't painful — it's a relaxing, comfortable treatment. Pressure is adjusted to suit you, and you can tell your therapist straight away if anything feels uncomfortable.
Avoid heavy meals for 1–2 hours beforehand and wear comfortable clothing. If you're pregnant, have recently had surgery, or have any significant health condition, be sure to mention it before your session.
For general relaxation, 1–2 sessions a month is enough for most people. During particularly busy or stressful periods, a weekly session can help your body shed that tension on a regular basis.
