At Tory Urban Retreat, we’re fortunate to have a talented team of therapists, each bringing their own skills and specialties. This means we can offer a wide range of massage styles — giving you the freedom to choose what best supports your body, your needs, and your wellbeing.
Relaxation Massage
Gentle, flowing strokes designed purely to soothe and calm. Ideal for stress relief, nervous system reset, and a sense of deep ease. (Especially lovely after a Float Pod session.)
Swedish Massage
A classic full-body style using long, rhythmic strokes and light to medium pressure. Perfect for easing general tension, improving circulation, and leaving the body refreshed.
Therapeutic Massage
Combines gentle to medium pressure with focused attention on areas of imbalance or discomfort. A supportive choice if you want both relaxation and practical bodywork.
Deep Tissue / Remedial Massage
A focused, firm-pressure technique that works into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It’s especially effective for chronic tension, postural imbalances, and long-standing discomfort. Deep tissue massage helps release tightness, improve mobility, and restore functional ease — making it one of our most requested treatments for people who need more than relaxation.
Sports Massage
Designed with athletes and active lifestyles in mind, this massage combines dynamic strokes, stretching, and targeted pressure. It helps prepare muscles for performance, supports faster recovery, and reduces the risk of injury. Many clients also choose sports massage to relieve everyday aches from training, desk work, or simply the demands of a busy life.
Thai Massage
Traditional technique involving gentle, rhythmic compression and stretching — restores mobility, balance, and energy.
Bobo Massage (Traditional Fijian)
Indigenous Fijian technique using rhythmic, flowing strokes — deeply relaxing and culturally rich.
Aromatherapy Massage
Soothing touch combined with essential oils — nurtures relaxation, mood uplift, and sensory calm.
Reflexology
Gentle pressure on key foot points corresponding to body systems — promotes balance, relaxation, and holistic harmony.
Cupping / Vacuum Therapy
Glass or silicone cups create gentle suction — enhances circulation, eases muscle tightness, and brings fresh energy to the tissues.
Lymphatic Drainage
A gentle, rhythmic technique that stimulates the lymphatic system — the body’s natural detox pathway. This style of massage helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support immune function. Many clients also notice a lighter, more sculpted feeling, which is why it has become so popular on social media. Beyond the trend, it’s especially beneficial after illness, surgery, jet lag, or periods of fatigue, helping the body restore balance and flow.
Pregnancy Massage
Gentle, nourishing massage adapted for expectant mothers — soothes aches, supports comfort. (Please note: first trimester not suitable.)
Shiatsu / Meridian Relaxation
Japanese technique applying pressure to meridian points — promotes energy flow and alleviates tension, headaches, fatigue, and more.
Indian Ayurvedic Massage & Indian Head Massage
Traditional healing approaches using warm oil, rhythmic strokes, and scalp focus — restorative for mind, body, and spirit.
Pelvic / Spine Alignment
Gentle adjustments to support posture and structural ease — helps with alignment-related discomfort.
Pelvic Alignment / Sciatic Relief
Specialized technique to soothe pelvic tension and sciatica symptoms — bringing ease back to movement.
Trigger Point Massage
Focused pressure on tight muscle knots — releasing tension, improving mobility.
Lomi Lomi, Mirimiri, Fofo
Traditional Polynesian bodywork combining flowing strokes, compression, and rhythmic touch — harmonizing body and spirit with cultural richness.
