Swedish Body Massage

Swedish Body Massage

Carried out by my husband Steve, a fully qualified masseuse, these massage techniques give both superficial and deep tissue massage aimed at relieving tension, releasing toxins and freeing restrictions from the muscles, enhancing the circulation and refreshing the skin. 

An effective therapy which helps in overall wellbeing, Swedish Massage is not only relaxing but invigorating too. Typically your massage appointment will cover an hour and a half. Areas usually massaged are your legs, arms, front of shoulders, abdomen (optional), back of legs or thigh and your back.

With all massage therapies given, your modesty will be respected at all times as you are covered in soft towels that are turned back to reveal only the area to be massaged at that time.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

The Lymphatic System helps fluid to drain from cells and eliminates waste, removing toxins and bacteria from the body, but stress, overwork or depression all have the potential to depress the immune system and cause retention of fluids.

Lymph drainage massage is deeply relaxing as well as stimulating to a sluggish immune system as it carries away toxins from the skin and allows increased nutrition to flow into the skin improving it's condition. Regular lymph massage can change the appearance of the complexion, causing the skin to glow with increased health. It can also support the immune system and help to combat colds and flu during the winter months.

During the course of this massage, which usually takes approximately one hour, you will have your legs elevated at about 45 degrees while your arms, shoulders, upper chest and abdomen are massaged. Once these areas are completed, the legs are then massaged, completing your treatment.

Back, Neck and Shoulder Massage

The back, neck and shoulder massage is a wonderfully relaxing and deeply therapeutic treatment which will relieve stress and tension trapped in the shoulders and neck, release toxins and improve circulation to the muscles and tissues in the affected areas and will strengthen and support ligaments, tendons and muscles in the load bearing regions of the back.

With all the therapeutic impact of a full body massage, but localised to the back, neck and shoulders, this massage will take just half an hour and so is ideal for those with limited time.
