Swedish Massage

Swedish massage involves working the soft tissue of the body, to ease day-to-day stresses and muscular tension, and to promote relaxation. The technique involves long, kneading strokes combined with rhythmic tapping strokes and movement of the joints.

This type of massage targets the uppermost layer of muscles and aims to relieve muscle tension. It helps to increase delivery of blood and oxygen to the treated areas and can also be used in support of other therapies to assist in the rehabilitation of muscular injuries.

Swedish massage also increases blood flow to muscles which in turn increases nutrient supply, aiding recovery and increases flexibility by allowing muscle fibres to glide smoothly thereby preventing trigger point formation.
