Swedish Massage
Swedish massage was developed in the 1700's by a Swedish doctor named Per Henrik Ling.
The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. It is relaxing, invigorating and affects the nerves, muscles, glands and circulation, while promoting health and well-being.

Benefits of Swedish Massage
  • Relieves muscle tension
  • Improves blood flow and circulation
  • Stimulates and improves lymphatic drainage
  • Improves muscle tone
  • Improves mobility in stiff joints
  • Revitalises the whole body

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a stronger type of deep tissue massage that comprises a range of techniques to treat the stress, tension and fatigue that occurs through occupational, recreational or sporting activities. You don't have to be a sports person to feel the benefits. Muscular tension, soreness, stress and fatigue can affect anyone, whether you are a competitive or recreational sportsperson, DIY fanatic, gardener, a busy parent, or an over-stressed executive! Active or sedentary - you should find this type of massage relaxing and therapeutic.
