Swedish massage is a popular and widely practiced form of therapeutic massage that aims to promote relaxation, alleviate muscle tension and enhance overall well-being.
Employing a combination of gentle gliding strokes, kneading, tapping, friction, and stretching, this massage targets the superficial layers of muscles. The primary goal of Swedish massage is to encourage relaxation, improved blood circulation, ease muscle knots, and reduce stress and tension.
During a Swedish massage session, our massage therapist typically uses a choice of our own uniquely blended aromatherapy oils to facilitate a more relaxing experience combined with smooth and fluid movements across the body using effleurage, petrissage, kneading and Tapotement techniques. The therapist's hands, palms and fingertips will be used to deliver varying degrees of pressure, catering to the individual's preferences and specific areas of tension. The strokes employed in Swedish massage not only promote relaxation but also assist in the removal of metabolic waste products from muscles and tissues, thereby contributing to improved physical and mental well-being.
Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage
(25 minutes)
Perfect for easing tension, this massage is ideal for people suffering from neck and shoulder pain, and discomfort arising from stress and want to fit some relaxation into a busy day.
This massage helps to ease knots and tightness in the muscles around the neck and shoulders, improving flexibility and range of motion. We supplement the work on your neck and shoulders with a calming head massage to further relax you and soothe away the stress and accumulated tension. We apply a combination of massage and stimulation of acupressure points over the head, neck and shoulders. Sam is fully qualified in aromatherapy and uses bespoke blended aromatherapy oils, specific to your needs, to enhance the treatment. Note: this massage is performed on one of our massage beds because we need good access to your shoulders and upper back.
