Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a relaxing soft tissue massage. We use different techniques when working on the main muscle groups of the patient. We use oils on the skin. The most popular oils are grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil or different odorless oils especially made for sports, remedial and relaxing massages.

A full body treatment usually takes 60 minutes or more depending on the patient’s condition and includes the treatment of the back, arms, hands, legs, feet, abdomen, face and scalp. A therapist never touches the intimate parts (groin or breasts) of a patient. In some cases it is needed to work on the glutes when the patient has a stiff lower back, thighs or hips.

This type of body treatment is beneficial and harmless. It lowers the blood pressure, stimulates the blood circulation, relieves stress and softens stiff muscles. As a secondary benefit it helps digestion and circulation. It is recommended to drink lots of water after having a massage treatment and preferably not do any hard work or to workout afterwards, the same day. As it is a very relaxing and slow body treatment some patients can even fall asleep. The best idea is to have it in the afternoon or evening and go to sleep straight away.

To keep yourself flexible and limber this type of treatment is recommended on a regular basis (monthly or forthnightly depending on your lifestyle).

Some health conditions are not compatible with massages as follows: fever, cancer, contagious disease, fluctuating blood pressure, untreated high blood pressure, osteoporosis, some mental diseases, any acute inflammation in the body, drug or alcohol abuse. In some cases the patient can have a partial massage, like in case of pregnancy, injury, surgery, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, cardio-vascular diseases.
