Sports Massage

A sports massage improves blood circulation and metabolism. It reduces tension and pain in the muscles and in the entire body, while supporting the patient’s performance and regeneration.

  • Delayed-onset muscle soreness after training
  • Pre-competition preparation and activation
  • Injury prevention and prophylaxis
  • Reduced range of motion in a specific joint
  • Post-race recovery
Details : Sports Massage

A sports massage improves blood circulation and metabolism, reduces tension and pain, and speeds regeneration. Techniques and intensity are tailored to your sport, whether the goal is performance, recovery, injury prevention or preparation for competition. At GoodLife Spa: 30 to 90 minutes, 45 to 110 KM.

A sports massage is a variation of the classic massage. Different techniques and intensities are individually tailored to suit the athlete, to achieve the objective of their type of sport — improved performance, regeneration, relaxation or injury prophylaxis.

A medical sports massage plays an important role in preparing for training or competition, or after great physical exertion with the aim of restoring previous performance levels.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is both mentally and physically strenuous and unusual for the body and mind, and the joints stressed by the additional weight can be relieved. A massage during pregnancy can make this journey easier and more relaxed.

  • Lower-back and hip discomfort
  • Swollen legs and water retention
  • Difficulty winding down
  • Shoulder and neck tension
  • Stretched, itchy skin
Details : Pregnancy Massage

A pregnancy massage relieves the joints and back stressed by additional weight, improves skin elasticity, reduces water retention in the legs and eases tension in the shoulders and neck, which can help you wind down. At GoodLife Spa it is offered at 45 and 60 minutes, 65 and 80 KM.

Massage with oil improves the skin’s elasticity, and a targeted leg massage reduces water retention. In general, the treatment improves blood circulation and eases tension in the shoulder, neck and back, which can help you wind down.

Duration & price

Please tell us how far along you are when booking. We do not perform pregnancy massage in the first trimester without your doctor’s approval.

Foot Reflex Zone Massage

The reflex zone massage resembles the principle of Chinese acupressure. Each organ is said to have its own zone on the foot, and the massage works on these zones for a balancing, relaxing effect.

  • Foot and ankle fatigue
  • A tight, heavy feeling in the head
  • General restlessness
  • Difficulty winding down
  • Stress and exhaustion
Details : Foot Reflex Zone Massage

A foot reflex zone massage works on the principle of Chinese acupressure: each organ is said to have a corresponding zone on the foot, and working on it is meant to have a balancing effect on the body. It is used to ease tension and discomfort and to support the body under stress. 30 or 45 minutes, 45 or 55 KM.

Because the foot reflex zone massage influences the entire body via the feet, its range of effects is very extensive. It can ease discomfort in various muscle groups and support the body through stress and exhaustion. It is a relaxing complement to, not a substitute for, medical care.

Several sessions are recommended to build the effect. Many guests feel progressively more relaxed with each further treatment.

Duration & price

This works best as a course. Many guests notice a change after the second or third session.

Anti-Cellulite GOODLIFE Special

Reveal smoother skin and rediscover your confidence.

  • Orange-peel skin on the thighs and hips
  • Sluggish local circulation
  • Loss of skin firmness
  • Post-pregnancy skin changes
Details : Anti-Cellulite GOODLIFE Special

The Anti-Cellulite GOODLIFE Special is a deep lipomassage using vacuum cups and a massage gun. It stimulates circulation in areas affected by cellulite and cares for the skin, an alternative to ordinary massage for guests with visible cellulite. 45 or 60 minutes, 50 or 80 KM.

Our GoodLife Special Anti-Cellulite Massage combines targeted massage techniques to stimulate circulation, support lymphatic flow and improve the appearance of cellulite, leaving your skin looking smoother and firmer.

This external procedure, using vacuum cups made specifically for the purpose, is used on body areas affected by cellulite. For guests with visible cellulite this treatment is a strong alternative to an ordinary massage and can improve skin elasticity and texture.

Duration & price

Visible results need a course of sessions — typically six to ten, spaced one to two weeks apart.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a very light technique which stimulates the lymph to release excess fluid from swollen limbs and supports the overall functioning of the lymphatic system. Many guests feel lighter straight away, and a course builds on that.

  • Swollen legs, ankles and hands
  • Water retention and heaviness
  • Support before and after cosmetic procedures
  • Congested, reactive skin
  • General wellbeing and a lighter feeling
Details : Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a very light technique that stimulates lymph flow, eases fluid build-up in swollen limbs and supports the lymphatic system. It is used before and after liposuction, in anti-cellulite programmes, and as a calming treatment for reactive skin. 45 or 60 minutes, 50 or 80 KM.

It supports the body’s natural fluid drainage and is used before and after liposuction surgery. It is an integral part of an anti-cellulite programme and a calming addition for reactive skin.

The lymphatic system delivers nutrients to the cells and carries away excess fluid and cellular waste. Manual lymphatic drainage stimulates it using gentle, circular movements.

Duration & price

The movements are extremely light — this should never feel like a deep massage. Tell your therapist if it does.

The short answer

Therapy massage is more targeted than relaxation massage: it focuses on one goal or area, such as post-training recovery, pregnancy discomfort, a heavy feeling in the legs or cellulite. At GoodLife Spa in Sarajevo these sessions are delivered by professionally trained therapists and range from 45 KM for 30 minutes to 110 KM for 90 minutes.

These are our more targeted sessions. Each one has a defined goal and a technique set to match — focused, physiotherapy-adjacent work.

Our therapists are professionally trained, with experience in connective tissue work, fascia treatment, manual lymphatic drainage and sports rehabilitation. Tell them what you need and they will explain what can help.

Tell your therapist before you begin if you are pregnant, have had recent surgery or an injury, have a skin condition, varicose veins or a history of blood clots, or have a fever or an acute illness. They will adapt the session or advise you honestly. This is general information, not medical advice. Meet our therapists and see their training.

Questions

Therapy Massage — questions

A classic massage works broadly on tension, circulation and general wellbeing. A therapy massage focuses on one goal or area — post-training recovery, pregnancy discomfort, a heavy feeling in the legs, cellulite or foot reflex work — using a specific technique set. If you are unsure which you need, book a classic massage and ask your therapist to assess you first.

For a sports or pregnancy massage, yes if you have a diagnosed condition, a recent injury or a high-risk pregnancy. Manual lymphatic drainage is also used alongside medical treatment for lymphoedema, where your doctor should be involved. Our therapists will tell you honestly whether a treatment suits you.

A single session helps, but the therapy treatments are most effective as a course. As a rule of thumb, foot reflexology works best as a course of several sessions, and anti-cellulite work needs six to ten sessions one to two weeks apart. Sports massage varies with your training cycle.

Yes, but the session changes. The day before competition we use stimulating, shorter techniques to activate rather than deep work that would leave you sore. Tell your therapist your competition date and they will adapt the session accordingly.
