Acupressure vs. Relaxation Massage: What's the Difference?
When it comes to massage, there are many different types to choose from. Two of the most popular options are acupressure and relaxation massage. Both offer a variety of benefits, but they have different goals and use different techniques.

What are the differences between acupressure and relaxation massage?
The main difference between acupressure and relaxation massage is the goal of the treatment. Acupressure is used to treat specific conditions, while relaxation massage is used to promote overall relaxation and well-being.
Another difference between the two techniques is the amount of pressure that is used. Acupressure typically uses more pressure than relaxation massage.
Acupressure aims to address medical conditions by applying pressure with thumbs, fingers, or tools to specific pain points, stimulating circulation, and regulating the nervous system. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic pain and stiffness, especially those seeking relief in areas of tension such as office syndrome.

Which type of massage is right for me?
The best type of massage for you will depend on your individual needs and goals. If you are looking for a treatment to help with a specific condition, acupressure may be a good option. If you are looking for a way to relax and reduce stress, relaxation massage may be a better choice.
Both acupressure and relaxation massage can offer a variety of benefits. If you are not sure which type of massage is right for you, You can consult with our massage therapist.

Hi, I’m Soeli, the therapist behind Cocoon Massage & Yoga. ✌🏻

I’ve been working with massage and bodywork for over 15 years and love helping people feel more relaxed, comfortable and connected with their bodies.

My treatments are informal, personal and completely tailored to you. Whether you want to chat, have a laugh, work on a particular area of tension or simply switch off for an hour, you can come exactly as you are.

You may also meet Ruby, my small, friendly Cavapoo and emotional support dog. She’s hypoallergenic and usually keeps me company while I work. If you’d prefer your treatment without Ruby, just let me know in advance and I’ll arrange this for you.

No pressure, no judgement — just time for you.

Why book with me?

🌿 A treatment that's about you
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all massage. I listen to what you need and adapt your treatment accordingly.

💆‍♀️ Experienced hands
With years of experience in massage and bodywork, I’m confident working with different types of tension, aches and everyday muscular stress.

🫶 Relaxed and informal
There’s no need to feel nervous or self-conscious. My treatment room is a welcoming, down-to-earth space where you can simply be yourself.

🧘‍♀️ Time to switch off
Life can be busy and overwhelming. Your treatment is a chance to press pause, breathe and give yourself some much-needed time.

🐾 And sometimes… Ruby!
My little Cavapoo, Ruby, is my emotional support dog and occasionally joins me at work. She’s calm, friendly and hypoallergenic. If you’d rather she wasn't there, just request this when booking and I’ll happily arrange it.

Come as you are. Leave feeling a little lighter. ✌🏻
