Classic full-body massage that accelerates blood circulation.
90-Minute Swedish Massage: Deep Relaxation of the Nervous System
A 90-minute Swedish massage is the most comprehensive version of this classic technique; it is not merely a "longer massage," but a therapy that creates measurably deeper effects on the nervous system. Research shows that during the first 20-30 minutes of a massage, the body transitions from the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight mode) to the parasympathetic system (rest-and-digest mode). A 90-minute session allows you to spend approximately one hour in this state of deep relaxation, which means an exponential increase in therapeutic efficacy compared to a 60-minute session. At Royal Uzungöl SPA & Wellness, this extended session is the most preferred treatment for our guests experiencing chronic stress and deep fatigue.
Scientifically Proven Effects of an Extended Session
Clinical studies have demonstrated that during extended massage sessions, the stress hormone cortisol can drop by up to 30%, while the release of the happiness hormones serotonin and dopamine increases significantly. Over the course of 90 minutes, your therapist can dedicate individual time to all muscle groups, including the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, hands, and feet. By performing repeated strokes, especially in areas of chronic tension, muscle memory is encouraged to relax. This duration is also ideal for completing lymphatic drainage and helping the body eliminate edema.
Who Should Choose the 90-Minute Session?
We strongly recommend the 90-minute session for those who have not had a massage in a long time, professionals under intense work pressure and chronic stress, individuals suffering from insomnia and restlessness, and guests in need of post-workout recovery. You can discuss your expectations with your therapist before the session to determine your focus areas.
