Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief is Vital to Good Health
When we think about massage we typically think of Swedish Massage, which is a centuries old form of therapy. It is a style of massage that uses oil and involves stroking, kneading, pressure and flowing movements, to induce a state of deep relaxation and relieve muscular tension. This physical manipulation triggers relaxing reflex’s within the tissues, improves the local blood flow and increases the lymphatic drainage. Swedish massage therefore improves the oxygenation and clears away toxins that have accumulated. This process feels wonderfully relaxing and is always a special treat, helping us forget about the worries of the day and emerge invigorated and revitalised.
Benefits of Swedish Massage
From the moment we are born we experience the loving, nurturing embrace of our parents and feelings of comfort and security while held within their arms. Even as adults we re-create these feeling with a warm embrace of those we love and cherish. It is no surprise then that other forms of touch trigger similar feelings of relaxation, comfort and well-being.
Some of the benefits of Swedish Body massage Include:
Deep relaxation, helping reduce stress and anxiety
Releasing muscular tension and spasm
Improving skin tone, elasticity and circulation
Reducing swelling and eliminating toxins
Helping to boost the immune system
Easing stiff and tired joints
Aiding restful and rejuvenating sleep
Increasing energy levels and a general sense of well being
Who can enjoy Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is typically a more gentle and relaxing experience than the deeper and more vigorous Sports Massage we also offer at this clinic. It is therefore suitable for almost everyone who wishes to enjoy its wonderfully therapeutic benefits. As with all forms of therapy it is not suitable for everyone as certain medical conditions may prevent its use or require a GP’s consent (call us for guidance if you are unsure).
