Deep Blu

For Ana Gehm, BluSpa Algarve Spa Therapist, the Deep Tension-Release Massage is particularly suitable for clients whose bodies need a more purposeful response: tense backs, tired legs or a general feeling of heaviness. What distinguishes it is the balance between focused work on the areas of greatest tension and a wellbeing experience that remains fluid, attentive and comfortable.

• Feels accumulated tension in the back and wants a massage that pays particular attention to this area.
• Arrives at the spa with tired legs or a feeling of heaviness in the lower limbs.
• Prefers a more targeted treatment than a classic relaxing massage without excessive discomfort.
• Values body care that combines muscular work, a feeling of lightness and skincare.

“During the Deep Tension-Release Massage, I like to begin by understanding where the client feels the greatest restriction. Tension is often concentrated in the back, shoulders or lower back, but the person may also arrive with tired legs, as though the body has been carrying too much weight.

This treatment allows us to address both needs within the same ritual. On the back, I give more attention to the areas of greatest tension, always adapting the pressure to each person’s limits. Not every body requires a highly intense massage to respond well. Sometimes the most important thing is to find the right pace, work carefully and allow the muscles to begin releasing without creating resistance.

The draining component on the lower limbs creates a lighter, more fluid sensation. Many clients particularly appreciate this part of the treatment, especially when they arrive with tired legs or after more demanding periods.

The oil also makes a difference to the experience. Organic samphire and apricot kernel oil add a body-care dimension, leaving the skin more comfortable, nourished and soft to the touch. For me, this massage is special because it does not separate technical work from comfort. It acts purposefully while maintaining a feeling of care, presence and balance.”
