What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage targets the upper layer of muscles to help relieve tension. It uses long relaxing strokes, kneading and rhythmic tapping.

Why choose Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is gentler than some other forms of massage so is suited to those seeking relaxation through releasing muscle tension.

It is customisable to your needs. If you have a particular area of concern, such as a stiff neck, shoulders or back pain more time can be spent massaging this area. You can ask for light, medium, or firm pressure on the whole body or just a particular area.

What is it good for?

Swedish massage can help loosen up tight muscles and tension in your back, hips, shoulders, arms and neck caused by daily activities such as desk / house / gardenwork or exercising. It can also:

• Improve flexibility and range of movement by warming up muscles.
• Improve joint pain and strength through bringing more blood to the bones.
• Stimulate nerves to relieve discomfort and pain.
• Detox through encouraging lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and water retention in your body and improve immune function.
• Boost your mood by promoting the production of feel-good hormones such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.
• Lower stress by decreasing the stress hormone cortisol.
• Promote the growth of new skin cells through gentle exfoliation caused by the massage techniques.
