Swedish/Sport Massage

Swedish massage is a relaxing, therapeutic treatment that uses various techniques to manipulate the muscles and soft tissues of the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs and feet. Massage therapy positively influences your overall health and well-being.

Sport massage has the same benefits as Swedish but involves extra techniques in order to access deeper lying muscles. At times it can be uncomfortable or painful but this is a good treatment for specific muscle strains or injuries.

These two massage forms can be combined to create a remedial treatment that is also a relaxing experience.

Relaxation of the body and mind and increased feelings of well being
