Services
Signature Massage
Our Signature Massage delivers personalized therapeutic relief through tailored techniques. Skilled therapists address specific concerns like chronic pain or stress using Swedish, deep tissue, or sports massage methods. This adaptable treatment promotes circulation, reduces muscle tension, and enhances overall wellness through individualized pressure and modality combinations.
Infrared Sauna
Full-spectrum infrared sauna sessions provide detoxification and relaxation benefits. The therapy improves circulation, supports muscle recovery, and promotes skin purification through controlled heat exposure. Clients experience reduced inflammation and enhanced metabolic function during private 30-minute sessions that complement massage treatments.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage reduces swelling and enhances immune function through gentle rhythmic techniques. This therapy aids post-surgical recovery, athletic rehabilitation, and chronic edema management by stimulating natural lymph circulation and toxin elimination without intense pressure.
Thai Massage
Traditional Thai massage combines acupressure and assisted stretching along energy meridians. Performed on floor mats with clients fully clothed, this practice improves flexibility, releases chronic tension, and restores energy flow through dynamic compression and yoga-like positioning techniques.
Facial Treatments
Customized facials address specific skin concerns using organic Savor Beauty products. Treatments include microdermabrasion, LED therapy, and seasonal specialty services that improve texture, hydration, and tone through professional-grade cleansing, exfoliation, and nourishing mask applications.

Report
We just moved to Wilmington and I was missing my massages so thought I would try Relax! Based on all the great reviews, I was very much looking forward to it along with the facial I booked. The massage was so-so. He didn't use enough oil even though I asked him to. There were times there was no oil on my skin. The back portion consisted of him using his forearm 90% of the time vs any hand massaging or kneading.
The facial was also so-so. She didn't touch the area between my nose and lip, and barely my neck. Towels were too hot until I asked for cooler towels. I did like the products used although have no idea what they were.there was no explanation. At checkout, no one bothered to ask how the services were, so I didn't tell them. Perhaps I got a couple of new therapists, I don't know but the whole experience left me wanting.

I have been with various masseuses at Relax! and always had an awesome experience. The thing I love most about Chrissy is she listens to my needs and blends my requests based on my untrained experiences with her expertise. I love her use of deep tissue (my request) along with pressure points and reiki and whatever other awesomeness she is blending in! I and my lower back and hips are so thankful! Love, love, love Relax!

Chrissy was incredible. Got a 90min custom massage with her and she managed to reach places in my lower back and hips that I've been trying to get worked out for a while now. I could tell by the way she used her hands that she was extremely knowledgeable about what she was doing and the muscles she was working, it's like she was waiting for the muscles to speak to her before she dove in! She told me that before the massage my hips had been rotated and one sat higher than the other. I felt amazing after a wonderfully healing 90min and I can guarantee I will be back

I've seen 3 different massage therapists here and they have all been phenomenal. It's a wonderfully clean, professional, and relaxing environment that they've created. My massage today with Chrissy was 2 hrs of ultimate relaxation. She listened carefully to the notes I made about sensitive areas and adjusted accordingly. I will absolutely book with her again!
