Full Body Massage
A full body massage at Sparx Beauty in Winchester is a deeply relaxing, therapeutic treatment designed to restore balance from head to toe. Working the entire body, from the scalp and neck through to the legs and feet, this treatment uses flowing massage techniques and nourishing oils to ease muscle tension, improve circulation and promote a profound sense of relaxation. With longer treatment times, our fully trained therapists can adapt the massage to your needs, whether you are seeking stress relief, muscular recovery or complete relaxation.
By treating the whole body rather than one specific area, a full body massage helps calm the nervous system, release hidden tension and support natural detoxification through improved lymphatic flow. Many clients also notice improved sleep, reduced stress levels and healthier, more radiant skin, making this the perfect choice for those looking to reset, recharge and feel renewed.
Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage
A Back, Neck and Shoulders massage at Sparx Beauty in Winchester is a focused, therapeutic treatment designed to relieve tension where it is most commonly held. Concentrating on the upper and lower back, shoulders and neck, this massage targets tight, overworked muscles caused by desk work, stress, poor posture or physical activity.
Using tailored techniques, our fully trained therapists work to ease knots, reduce stiffness and release built-up tension, helping you feel more comfortable and relaxed.
This treatment is ideal if you are short on time or prefer a targeted approach rather than a full body massage. Popular with busy professionals, those experiencing tension headaches, or clients seeking regular maintenance, a Back, Neck and Shoulders massage delivers effective results in just 30 to 45 minutes. It is also a great introduction to massage therapy, offering focused relief, improved mobility and a noticeable sense of wellbeing.

Massage FAQs
What’s the difference between an Indian Head Massage and a Back, Neck and Shoulders massage?
«Indian Head Massage concentrates on the scalp, face, neck and shoulders, with an emphasis on relaxation, stress relief and mental clarity. Rooted in Ayurvedic practice, it helps ease tension headaches, migraines, eye strain and emotional stress, while also improving scalp and hair health. It can be performed seated or reclined and is often done over clothing, making it a comfortable and accessible option.
Back, Neck and Shoulders massage, on the other hand, is a more targeted, muscle-based treatment. It focuses on releasing physical tension, knots and stiffness in the upper back, shoulders and neck, making it ideal for postural pain, desk-related tension or sports strain. This treatment is usually carried out on a massage couch and requires the upper body to be uncovered so oils can be used effectively.
If you are seeking deep relaxation and stress relief, an Indian Head Massage is an excellent choice. If your main concern is muscular tension or aches caused by posture or activity, a Back, Neck and Shoulders massage may be better suited to your needs.
What type of massage do you offer?
«Sparx primarily specializes in Swedish Massage. This is the "classic" Western massage style designed for total relaxation.
What is Swedish Massage?
«Swedish Massage is a gentle, relaxing technique that focuses on the upper layers of muscle to ease tension and improve circulation. Using a combination of long, flowing strokes, kneading, rhythmic tapping, friction and vibration, this treatment helps the body feel lighter, more relaxed and refreshed.
It is an ideal choice if you want to unwind and de-stress without the intensity of deep tissue massage, leaving you feeling calm, rejuvenated and comfortably loose rather than sore.
Do I need to arrive early for my massage appointment?
«Yes, it is recommended to arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled time. You will need to fill out a brief consultation form regarding your medical history and any specific areas of tension (e.g. "my lower back is sore") so your therapist can tailor the massage to your needs.
What should I wear for my massage?
«You will usually be asked to undress to your underwear while the therapist is out of the room, so wear something easy.
You will be covered with towels at all times, with only the area being worked on (like your back or leg) being exposed.
Can I have a massage in the evening?
«Yes, we offer evening appointments on a Tuesday and Thursday. A massage is a great treatment to help you relax and refresh after work.
