Swedish massage is a body massage using five different strokes. It increases oxygen flow to your blood, and allows your muscles to release toxins. You initially lie on your back whilst your feet, legs, arms, shoulders and upper chest are massaged, before turning over so that the practitioner can work on the backs of your legs and arms, and also your back, shoulders and neck. Only the part of the body being massaged is uncovered, everything else is covered with a sheet. You may keep their underwear on if you wish!
The massage takes place in a warm treatment room with dim lights and soothing music, and is extremely relaxing.

As well as being highly relaxing, Swedish massage is helpful for joint pain and stiffness, osteoarthritis, tension, overused muscles, high blood sugar levels, infertility, PMS, digestive disorders, anxiety, insomnia, and slow healing, and many more disorders and problems. It is also of great use for relaxation and de-stressing, whether as a regular part of a hectic lifestyle, or as a special treat whilst on holiday. If you are unsure whether massage is right for you, please contact me and I will try to help you find the best treatment.

During each Swedish massage you are given a choice of four essential oils, your preference will be blended with massage oil to provide an experience that is beneficial and relaxing on every level.

The treatment lasts for one hour.
