Swedish Body Massage is the application of physical touch which affects the systems of the body whereby the manipulation of the soft tissues creates a pleasurable and relaxing effect. Swedish Body Massage assists in eliminating stress and tension in the muscle fibres as the blood circulation is increased and toxins are released. More oxygen and blood is allowed to flow to the muscles and organs, reducing pain and feelings of fatigue inducing a feeling of well- being.
Note: Certain health conditions require doctor’s advice before having a treatment
