What is Swedish Body Massage?
Massage is the art of healing through touch. It restores balance to the three elements of mind, body and spirit.
Swedish Body Massage, dating from the early 19th century, is the original massage technique using oils, involving a sequence of movements working superficially and deeper into the tissue layers. It is one of the easiest ways of attaining and maintaining good health and something we do naturally. It is a healing instinct, innate in us all, to rub an aching shoulder or stubbed toe. By using oils and gentle manipulation, the power of touch eases our troubled minds, relieves aches and pains and provides a feeling of true relaxation.
Swedish Body Massage is an uplifting and energising massage that stimulates circulation and generates an immediate sense of well-being.
A light and relaxing treatment, Swedish Body massage is designed to ease away the aches and stresses of everyday life. Wonderful for relaxation, a full body massage includes work on the neck, shoulders, arms, upper chest, abdomen (optional), back and legs.
During a treatment, Kerry uses light rhythmic strokes, long relaxing strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and shaking motions, applying structured pressure, tension, motion, or vibrations to the soft tissues of the body, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and lymphatic system in order leave the body totally relaxed and rested. A Swedish Body massage will help you become more aware of when you are tensing certain muscles unnecessarily and learn the skill of relaxation.
