7 Massage Types
Complete Guide to
Every Massage Available
01
Traditional Thai Massage
A complete body therapy combining stretching, acupressure, and energy line work. You lie fully clothed on a floor mat while therapists guide you through yoga-like stretches. Feels like assisted yoga mixed with deep pressure. Releases tension you didn’t know you were holding. Best for desk workers with stiff shoulders, athletes needing flexibility, and anyone mentally exhausted.
02
Aromatherapy Massage
Combines massage with essential oils chosen for your specific needs — lavender for anxiety, eucalyptus for congestion, peppermint for clarity. The oils trigger brain responses that affect mood, stress hormones, and immune function. The calm centered feeling stays with you for hours. Best for anxiety, insomnia, first-time spa visitors.
03
Deep Tissue Massage
Targets the deepest layers of muscle and fascia. Designed for chronic pain from long work days, specific injuries, and postural problems from desk work. Uses slow deliberate strokes and deep finger pressure on tension areas. Can be intense in the moment — but relief afterward is immediate and lasting. This is therapeutic bodywork, not relaxation massage.
04
Hot Oil Massage
Warmed herbal oils penetrate deeper into muscle tissue. Heat increases blood flow, accelerates healing, and releases stubborn knots. Triggers the parasympathetic nervous system — guests often fall asleep during hot oil treatments. Perfect for poor circulation, perpetual tension, and deeply relaxing experiences.
05
Swedish Massage
The “Goldilocks” massage — right in the middle. Focuses on superficial muscle layers using five structured strokes. Gentler than deep tissue but more structured than aromatherapy. Perfect for first-time visitors, full body coverage, and anyone on a regular monthly wellness schedule.
06
Four Hand Massage
Two therapists working in perfect synchronisation simultaneously. Your brain stops tracking the touch — you enter a meditative state you can’t achieve with a single therapist. Time disappears. Best for special occasions, extreme burnout, and anyone wanting a truly premium spa experience. Requires advance booking.
07
Couples Massage
Any massage style performed simultaneously in a private suite. Each person has their own therapist and can choose different treatments. Private suite with two tables. Popular for anniversaries, pre-wedding treats, and expat couples seeking date experiences beyond restaurants.

FAQs
Frequently Asked
Questions
How often should I get a massage in Gulshan?
For chronic pain or stress: weekly for 4–6 weeks, then bi-weekly. For general wellness: monthly. For injury recovery: as recommended by your therapist or doctor.
Will a massage hurt?
Deep tissue and Thai massage can have intense moments but shouldn’t be painful. “Good pain” (therapeutic pressure) is different from “bad pain” (injury risk). Speak up immediately if anything feels wrong.
What should I wear for different massage types?
For oil-based massage (Swedish, aromatherapy, hot oil, deep tissue): disrobe to your comfort level and be draped with sheets. For Thai massage: wear or bring comfortable loose clothing.
Can I request a specific therapist at Melody Thai Spa?
Yes. Once you find a therapist whose style matches your needs, you can request them for future bookings. Most regular guests have a preferred therapist.
Why do prices vary so much across Gulshan spas?
Spas at ৳2,500 typically use minimally trained therapists, generic techniques, questionable hygiene, and rush sessions. Melody’s pricing reflects certified therapists, premium oils, professional facilities, and proper session duration.
