When you step into Aura Spa and Nails in Brighouse, the first thing we want is for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived. However, with so many treatments on our Price List, choosing the right massage can feel a bit overwhelming. The two most popular choices are Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage. While both are incredibly beneficial, they serve very different purposes. Let’s break down which one your body actually needs today.
If your goal is to switch off your brain, lower your stress levels, and simply be pampered, the Swedish Massage is your best friend.
The Technique: Our therapists use five main strokes—long gliding movements, kneading, rhythmic tapping, friction, and vibration.
The Sensation: Gentle to medium pressure. It’s designed to be soothing and rhythmic.
The Benefits: * Reduces cortisol (the stress hormone).
Boosts oxygen levels in the blood.
Improves flexibility by relaxing the surface muscles.
Best For: First-timers, people with high-stress jobs, or those who just need a “mental reset.”
If you have knots in your shoulders that won’t go away, or if you’ve been training hard at a local Brighouse gym, you likely need a Deep Tissue session.
The Technique: This involves slower, more forceful strokes that target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues (fascia).
The Sensation: Intense and focused. You may feel some “good pain” as the therapist works through chronic tension.
The Benefits: * Breaks up scar tissue and “knots” (adhesions).
Speeds up muscle recovery after exercise.
Relieves chronic pain conditions like a stiff neck or lower back ache.
Best For: Athletes, people with chronic pain, or those who prefer firm, heavy pressure.
At Aura Spa and Nails, we don't believe in "one size fits all." Every treatment begins with a personal consultation to understand your body’s needs and your style preferences.
