Relaxation Massage (Swedish)

Originally developed in the late eighteenth century by a Swedish fencing master, this was the first systematic application of therapeutic massage in the West. Swedish massage borrowed from European folk massage, oriental techniques brought to the Middle-East and from breakthroughs in anatomy and physiology at the time. It contains strokes, pressure and manipulation, with each having specific therapeutic benefits.

Swedish massage speeds up the return of un-oxygenated and toxic blood from the extremities. Recovery time from muscular strain is shortened by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without stressing the heart. It stimulates the skin and the nervous system and reduces stress on a physiological and emotional level. Its benefits make it a widely used remedial therapy. 

Support your wellbeing with a relaxation massage to rest and restore your mind, body and spirit. Performed by a fully trained therapist, this full body massage targets the back, shoulders, neck, scalp, legs, arms and feet.

What to expect on the day.  You will need to fill out a confidential health assessment form which will enable our massage therapist to know any health issues and to tailor a massage for you on the day.  Relaxation massage requires you to only undress clothing to those parts of the body to be worked on; towels are used for draping to ensure warmth and discretion.  Massage oil such as Almond oil is used and a base cream is used in our foot massage. 

Being comfortable and relaxed is our aim.
