Swedish Body Massage

 

This is a massage using Swedish techniques; it manipulates the soft tissue of the body for therapeutic purposes.  Traditionally Swedish massage is applied using talcum powder which enables the therapist’s hands to slide over the client whilst applying a deep pressure. During the massage I will be able to use a variety of massage mediums including lotion, oil, talc and gel depending on the skin condition and the type of massage required.

The Swedish massage uses a variety of techniques to provide a balanced massage.

There are many benefits to massage which include relaxation, relieves muscle tension, improves blood circulation which in turn increases the amount of nutrients and oxygen which are delivered to an area, lymphatic drainage, helps in the removal of dead skin cells, softens and breaks down fatty deposits as well as relieving stress and tension and provides a state of wellbeing.

A full consultation will be give prior to the massage to ensure there are no medical conditions preventing treatment which may require you obtaining a letter from your doctor, in some circumstances this may mean that the massage would be postponed but your health is the top priority.  During the consultation I will establish your skin type and nature of massage required.  You will be required to lie on a massage couch, but your modesty will be maintained at all times.

Following the treatment you will receive full aftercare advice.
