The purpose of the treatment is to increase the blood and lymph flow and promote the release and elimination of toxins from the muscles.

What does it involve?

Swedish massage take a holistic view of the client taking into consideration lifestyle, physical and mental wellbeing to tailor a treatment to suit the client's needs.  No two people are the same and as such no two massage treatments will follow and exact rigid formulate.  Techniques will be varied to suit the clients needs.

Oil is applied to the client's skin and using movements to warm the muscles and work deep into the tissues to relieve tension and pain.

The petrissage techniques used in Swedish massage manipulates the tissues and stimulates the blood circulation, releasing built up toxins stored in the tense muscles. The waste is then carried away by the lymphatic system leaving you feeling deeply relaxed and stimulated with a renewed sense of energy.
