Holistic/Swedish Massage
 
 
Swedish body massage is the original massage technique involving a sequence of effleurage & petrissage movements, working superficially and deeper into the tissue layers.

Areas massaged in a full body massage are normally; back, neck, shoulders, legs, arms and abdomen (optional).
Massage may help:
  1. •        Improve & maintain general health
  2. •        Reduce localised pain, particularly in joints and muscles
  3. •     Overall relaxation, which helps the body to function effectively by removing stress, tension & anxiety, all of which put extra strain on the systems
  4. •        Increase energy by reducing fatigue & strain
  5. •        Energise or soothe depending on movements used and an individual’s requirements
  6. •        Encourage deep relaxation & an awareness of tension build-up
  7. •        Balance the digestive system
  8. •        Relieve insomnia
  9. •        Enable deeper, more effective respiration
