What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is a very popular, deeply relaxing whole body complementary therapy. Designed to help relax your mind and body, it relieves stress and tension, allowing you to unwind.

The massage consists of long gliding strokes and kneading, which help to release tension in the main muscle groups of the body. Medium or firmer pressure can be used to target specific problem areas.

These movements stimulate the cardiovascular system, bringing fresh blood and nutrients to tired aching muscles. The lymphatic system is invigorated, which flushes out toxins. While energising the nervous system releases endorphins, generating an immediate sense of wellbeing.

Many people do not realise the detrimental effect tight muscles, stress and muscular imbalance can have on the body. Most issues, acute or chronic can be reversed. So Swedish Massage is recommended as a regular program for stress management and tension relief.

Full Body Swedish Massage includes work on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, feet and hands.
Complete Swedish Massage also covers the abdomen if required.
