Nuru massage (‘slide massage’) is an enchanting form of Japanese bodywork that offers a unique sensory experience, engaging your body's largest organ: your skin.
Covering an area of about 2 square metres in the average adult, your skin is packed with up to 4,000,000 sensory receptors allowing you to feel touch, pressure, temperature, and pleasure.
Unlike traditional massages that focus on specific areas, Nuru massage engages nearly your entire body at once. This full-body, extensive skin-to-skin approach stimulates a vast number of sensory receptors simultaneously, creating a uniquely immersive experience.
This 'slide massage' has been perfected by our highly trained, effortlessly beautiful and expert London Tantric masseuses.
Nuru massage has a fascinating history. It began in the bathhouses of Kawasaki, Japan. This was during a time when regular massage was restricted. The word 'Nuru' means 'slippery' in Japanese. It perfectly describes the smooth gliding technique that makes this massage special.
In the past, Nuru massages were given in special bathhouses called "soaplands". Created as a sensual, non-sexual alternative to banned services, Nuru massage quickly became popular.
Traditionally made from nori seaweed, Nuru gel creates a super smooth surface between you and your masseuse. Imagine floating weightlessly, wrapped in warmth and gentle pressure.
If you're trying to imagine the gel, think about high-quality aloe vera gel mixed with the slickness of massage oil. By reducing friction, the gel allows for smooth, uninterrupted contact across large areas of skin.
This continuous stimulation can lead to a phenomenon known as 'sensory flooding', where the sheer volume of pleasant sensations can induce a range of responses, from deep relaxation through to euphoric arousal.
Nuru massage doesn't just involve light touch. The pressure applied during the massage stimulates deeper sensory responses in your muscles and connective tissues. This pressure can trigger the release of oxytocin, the 'cuddle hormone', promoting intense feelings of bonding and well-being.
Our London Tantric Nuru massage specialists are experts in Nuru techniques. They offer an experience that respects tradition but also fits modern tastes. Your session will be just for you.
Nuru massage does more than just relax your body. It's not just a physical practice, but a journey of sensation that can leave you feeling more connected to your body and more aware of its incredible capacity for pleasure and relaxation.
The rhythmic, flowing movements can stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a 'rest and digest' state that counters stress and anxiety.
