Swedish Body Massage

Swedish massage is the basic, classic form of western massage, which uses pressure to help you feel relaxed and calm. Besides the calming benefits, Swedish massage is thought to be good for:

* easing muscular strain by flushing out toxins

* improving circulation by increasing oxygen flow in the blood

* helping to keep ligaments and tendons supple

* stimulating the nervous system

* reducing emotional and physical stress.

During Swedish massage, massage therapists apply massage oil to your skin to facilitate various massage strokes, including the smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other classic Swedish massage moves include kneading, friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping.

Swedish massage promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension and creates other health benefits. It can be slow and gentle or vigorous and bracing, depending on what the therapist wants to achieve.

Body Scrub - 40 minutes
A body scrub removes dead skin cells, increases blood circulation and cleanses skin through exfoliation. Also known as body polish,it consists of a liquid base with exfoliating granules which slough off dead skin when you massage it over your body. This action boosts blood circulation and drains your lymph nodes by increasing the blood flow to your skin’s surface. Sugar, salt and walnut shell powder are popular exfoliating components in natural body scrubs as they are abrasive enough to scrub skin but gentle enough to not damage it. One must include this treatment in their skin care routine as it is essential for one to maintain soft, smooth and healthy skin.

Precautions

As with all treatments, inform your therapist of any medical conditions you may have. It's best to avoid heavy meals and alcohol in the hours leading up to your massage.

What to expect from a Swedish massage

Your massage will probably last around 30 or 60 minutes depending on the massage you have chosen. You'll be given time to undress privately and lie down on the massage table, usually padded for extra comfort, where you may cover yourself with towels. You don't have to be completely exposed at any point; your therapist can uncover one little bit of you at a time depending on the area they are focusing on. If you're worried about anything, don't hesitate to say so.

Your therapist might assess your complexion at the start of your treatment and choose essential oils or lotions to suit your skin type. These will be massaged into your body with a series of strokes and techniques classic to Swedish massage. The treatment is very sensitive to pressure and takes into account the delicate or tender areas of your body, so it should be comfortable and soothing.

The therapist likes to play music during massage, as it can help you to unwind. Don't be afraid to say if you'd prefer not to have it - or indeed if you're unhappy with anything else in the treatment room. Being content in your surroundings is important for relaxation and will help you sink happily into your massage.

The same goes for talking. Most therapists are very sensitive to how much their client wants to communicate and will limit or encourage conversation accordingly. Some people like to chat a bit; others don't. It doesn't matter as long as you're comfortable, relaxed and receptive.

Hot tip!

All massage can leave you feeling thirsty and needing to go to the toilet more than usual - this is because it's got your lymph circulation going and your body is flushing out toxins. Drink plenty of water afterwards as you slowly drift back to planet Earth.

Afterwards

You'll probably feel quite relaxed and maybe even sleepy, so give yourself plenty of time to unwind. Savour the feeling of having every muscle in your body gently stretched and smoothed out.
