Swedish Full Body Massage

Service Description

There are many benefits of Swedish massage including: Easing muscle pain-Swedish massage can help to alleviate pain, be it long-term, chronic muscle or joint pain. Your massage therapist can target particular pain points, reducing the muscle tension in the area, allowing pain to ease. Increased blood circulation-The range of massage techniques improve blood circulation to the areas worked on. This has a number of different benefits. The increased warmth is soothing, easing sore muscles, but it also helps your body drain away the toxins stored up simply through everyday life. Whilst the massage will leave you feeling deeply relaxed, afterwards you may experience a real boost in energy as a result of increased blood circulation. Blood circulation helps improve recovery, as fresh oxygenated blood flows more easily to the area. Increased range of movement-By gently working the ligaments and muscles, this massage can help to improve range of movement, keeping you supple and agile. The joints are able to release their natural lubricants. Reduction in physical stress-Stress can cause our muscles to tense and we need to take care to allow our muscles to relax again, discharging tension. Swedish massage alleviates the tension, allowing the muscles to relax and removing the imprint of physical stress. In turn, this can also help improve your posture as muscles are no longer forced to overcompensate. Many people find that Swedish massage relieves tension headaches. Reduction in emotional stress-Many of us live stressful lives with pressures on our time and causes for worry. Being pampered and lulled into relaxation for an hour allows that emotional stress to ebb away. Aids immunity-Regular Swedish massage has been shown to support and aid a healthy immune system. This is most likely a by-product of the fact that massage de-stresses the body. Stress has a nasty negative effect on immunity, so anything you do to reduce stress will help to naturally improve your immunity. Releases feel good chemicals-Massage has been scientifically proven to release a range of feel good hormones and chemicals in our bodies, such as oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins and dopamine. It makes you feel good by giving you some time out and it actually has an effect at a chemical level to make you feel amazing. Improve sleep-One of the chemicals we mention above – serotonin – is vital for healthy sleep patterns. It helps you drop off more easily and also stay asleep.
