Client Information

Spa-Massage exclusively offers a range of wellness, or relax, massage types, the purpose of which is to assure holistic relaxation and a feeling of wellness to persons who are in an unimpaired state of health. They may only be administered to healthy persons for preventive or relaxation purposes or as a wellness massage with the aim of stimulating the body’s own powers of healing.

Spa-Massage is not a physiotherapy practice and, for that reason, it is not possible to consult Spa-Massage with the aim of requesting medical physiotherapies. Nor is it possible for Spa-Massage to offer women massages during their pregnancy: these clients should seek the services of specialist massage services for expectant mothers.

Young persons under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
