Jet Lag Massage
Release travel fatigue, restore your rhythm, and feel like yourself again with Jet Lag Massage. Perfect for post-flight recovery.
Jet Lag Massage – Ground Yourself After the Flight
You made it. You landed. But something still feels… off.
Your body arrived before your mind. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Your legs are heavy, your back aches from too many hours in that seat, and your sleep schedule doesn’t know which way is up.
That’s when Jet Lag Massage becomes more than just a treat—it becomes a reset.
It’s not just about easing sore muscles. It’s about helping your body remember where it is, bringing your nervous system back online, and giving you the chance to feel present again.
What Is Jet Lag Massage?
Jet lag massage is a customized therapy designed to help your body recover after long-haul travel. It blends several techniques—like lymphatic drainage, deep tissue, reflexology, and calming touch—to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and recalibrate your internal rhythm.
It’s especially helpful when your:
Body clock is out of sync
Muscles feel stiff or compressed from flying
Head feels foggy and tired, but not sleepy
Mood is flat and your energy won’t cooperate
Whether you’re coming from overseas or just across a few time zones, your system needs support—and sometimes, a little pressure and presence can go a long way.
Why It Works
Jet lag isn’t just about sleep. It’s a full-body disruption—of digestion, hormones, hydration, blood flow, mood. Your entire internal rhythm gets scrambled when you cross multiple time zones or spend hours sitting in pressurized air.
Massage helps by:
Stimulating circulation and lymph flow, which can be sluggish post-flight
Easing muscular tension, especially in the back, calves, neck, and hips
Rebalancing the nervous system so your body can shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest
Encouraging deep, quality sleep, so your body can catch up and reset
In other words: it gently pulls you back to earth.
Who Is It For?
Jet lag massage is perfect for:
Frequent flyers who never quite feel “settled” after travel
Long-haul travelers crossing 3+ time zones
Business travelers who need to feel functional fast
Vacationers who want to enjoy their trip without wasting a day or two recovering
Flight crew members or anyone with irregular schedules and circadian disruption
You don’t need to be exhausted or in pain to benefit. Sometimes, you just want to feel like yourself again.
What Techniques Are Used?
Every jet lag massage is tailored to your condition on that day. A session might include:
Gentle lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and fluid retention
Slow, firm effleurage to get circulation moving
Targeted foot and leg work to release blood from the lower limbs
Head, face, and neck massage to clear pressure and calm the senses
Abdominal massage (optional) to help digestion and internal rhythm
Aromatherapy oils like lavender, eucalyptus, or ginger (by request)
Some therapists also offer hot towel compresses, hydration support, or guided breathing to aid recovery.
Where Can You Receive It?
Jet lag massage can meet you wherever you’ve just landed:
In your hotel or Airbnb—ideal when you don’t want to move
At home, especially after returning from a trip
Travel can be overstimulating, so many clients prefer a quiet, dimly lit space to come down gently and reset.
Frequently Asked Questions
It varies. Some people love a session right after landing, especially if they can’t sleep. Others prefer to wait a day, hydrate, and reset a little before. There’s no wrong answer—just follow your internal cues.
Nope. You can book one anytime post-travel—even if you feel “okay.” Think of it like preventive care for your rhythm. The sooner your body settles, the more energy and clarity you’ll have for the days ahead.
It’s more focused on resetting your system, not just relaxing your muscles. Your therapist will adapt techniques to match how your body feels after travel—working on swelling, sleep issues, pressure, and fatigue. It’s not one-size-fits-all.
