A complete (or part ) body massage that uses long strokes, kneading, vibrations and
percussion moves to deeply relax and re-energise you. Ideal any time, this massage is particularly beneficial after sport.
Just a few examples of what regular Swedish massage can do for you:
• Improves skin condition of the entire body because massage not only removes the layer of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, it also feeds the skin with oxygen and nutrients by increasing the blood flow to the surface.
• It targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to feed the muscles with oxygen and nutrients whilst aiding the removal of wastes (such as lactic acid). This will help reduce muscle damage, strain or tension and aid the body in its healing process after a tough workout.
• Alleviates depression (particularly useful in the dark winter months) by increasing the dopamine, serotonin and noradrenalin levels in the body which control the body’s pleasure and pain centres in the brain and control our energy levels.
• Increases immunity by decreasing the levels of cortisol in the blood. Cortisol is a hormone that suppresses the immune system.
