Massage therapy offers a range of benefits—from soothing tired muscles to healing chronic pain. But when it comes to booking your next session, you might wonder: should I choose a therapeutic massage or a relaxation massage? At Madanny Luxury and Beauty Spa Nairobi, we help you understand the key differences so you can pick the best option for your body and mind.
What Is Relaxation Massage?
