SCRATCHING
SCRATCHING is a unique stress-relief technique that provides deep relaxation in as little as half an hour. The treatment is performed by a professional SCRATCHER, who gently traces fine lines on the skin with their nails, creating a wonderfully soothing sensation.
The gentle touch on the nerve channels sends pleasant signals to the brain, leading to instant tension relief. During head scratching, acupressure points are also stimulated, promoting deep relaxation—bringing joyful tranquility and a state of complete calmness.
After just one session, you may feel more energetic and liberated, and with repeated treatments, these effects only continue to intensify.

Craving True Serenity?
We designed our Body Relax Studio to be an island of tranquility amidst the rush of everyday life.
“Yesterday is the past. Today is a gift,
because it gives us the opportunity to experience new moments.
This is the magic of life.”
“It releases new energy and allows me to focus 100% on my family.”
“I’m a 42-year-old workaholic, whose mind is constantly occupied with work—even on weekends. Scratch&Joy has truly changed my life. As business professionals, we often deal with high stress levels, and transitioning from work to home life can be difficult, sometimes leading to conflicts. Thanks to this treatment, I feel much more balanced and refreshed.
Personally, I book my session at the end of the workday, which helps me mentally close the day’s tasks, relieve stress, release new energy, and focus 100% on my family.”
“I work 10-hour days, and whenever I have free time, I fly to Barcelona to visit my wife and my footballer son.
At 70, I barely have time to take care of myself—little exercise, irregular meals.
Since starting Scratch&Joy therapy, my mind feels sharper, I experience fewer headaches, and I can focus on more things. I get tired less easily, and I’ve even developed a desire to move more, thanks to the improved circulation from the scratching therapy.”
“Ever since childhood, my grandmothers used to scratch my back, but as I got older, school, training, and extracurricular activities left little time for it. Before my matches, my mother always used this scratching technique on my legs, head, and arms. I felt my blood circulation boost, my energy levels skyrocket, and I could focus 100% mentally.
During matches, my cognitive performance improved, and I tired less quickly on the field. After games, this method helped me fully relax and unwind. I highly recommend it to my teammates!”

Scratch&Joy is a special relaxation treatment that helps with physical and mental relaxation through a combination of gentle touches, scratches, and ASMR effects. It uniquely reduces stress, relieves tension, and promotes deep relaxation.
2. How does a treatment session work?

Scratch&Joy therapy is not a massage! While massage focuses on deeper muscle work, scratching works with soft, delicate touches and scratches that trigger a relaxing effect similar to ASMR.

We pay maximum attention to hygiene during treatments. The therapist's hands undergo thorough disinfection before and after each guest, and we follow all hygiene regulations.
