Swedish massage provides a wide range of benefits, physically it helps to ease knots and muscle tension in the body especially if you exercise, it can decrease joint inflammation also supports lymphatic drainage and improves blood circulation which encourages the body's natural healing process. I have often witnessed it relieves symptoms of arthritis, fibromyalgia, TMJ, migraines and even improve scar tissue.

Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for reducing stress and anxiety. Scientific research indicates that massage therapy can act as a natural antidepressant by influencing the body's biochemistry. Studies suggest that it can raise serotonin levels by approximately 28% and dopamine levels by roughly 31%,  By activating this system it can also result in better nights sleep and increase feelings of calmness, mental clarity and can often increase energy.

I use heated oil for Swedish massage to encourage long flowing strokes using light to hard pressure depending on what you, the client prefer. I also apply firm, pressure or small circular motions to tight spots or specific knots on the body to release tension and pain.

I incorporate facial and head massage at the end of each treatment, however this is not always desired by the client because of the oil. This preference is usually discussed during consultation.

I always treat the client holistically therefore ensuring that it’s just not the body that gets a whole work out but their emotional needs will be met too.

(While massage therapy is a powerful complementary approach, it is generally considered a supplement to, not a replacement for clinical treatment, however they both work very effectively together)
