Massagesalon Ruud offers a broad range of massage services. Each session begins with attention and dialogue, ensuring that the massage matches your condition, expectations, and energy level. The most frequently requested massage treatments include:

Relaxation Massage
A soothing full-body massage that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and helps the body return to a balanced state. Warm oils are used to enhance the experience and to relax both muscles and nervous system.

Sports Massage
A more vigorous treatment focused on muscle recovery and performance. Ideal for athletes and active individuals experiencing muscle tension or preparing for physical activity. Sessions are generally limited to one hour to ensure focused and effective treatment.

Therapeutic Massage
Designed for clients suffering from chronic pain, muscular tension, or joint stiffness. This treatment combines massage therapy with body-awareness techniques. Importantly, if no therapeutic effect is achieved, the session will not be charged.

Massage for Emotional Discomfort
This gentle, emotionally supportive massage is particularly suited for those experiencing mental fatigue, sadness, or restlessness. Through conscious touch, it can help release tension and restore a sense of balance.

Complementary techniques may be included, such as cupping, acupressure, heated stones, ginger compresses, or polarities and energy balancing, always based on what the body requires and with your consent.

Clients may choose between visiting Ruud’s massage studio or requesting a massage at their accommodation. The massage room is located in a calm and carefully renovated attic space, featuring wooden floors, soft color tones, and a heated massage table. This peaceful environment supports physical relaxation and emotional comfort.
