Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage involves elongated flowing massage strokes that help improve circulation, reduce pain and ease joint stiffness. This massage should leave you feeling relaxed and at peace with the world.

The Practitioner uses long strokes, kneading techniques, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping techniques to focus on and relieve myofascial trigger points, also known as ‘muscle knots’. Swedish Massage can be relaxing or therapeutic, both types of massages are available at East Sussex Massage.

Recent studies have shown massage helps to improve health, for example, showing high blood pressure can be reduced by massage.

What to expect

On the first visit, a case history will be taken. The client will be asked about their symptoms, medical history and desired outcome of the treatment. This enables our massage therapists to tailor each session to the client’s individual needs and enables a suitable treatment plan to be devised.

Typically, the patient lies on the massage table, in either loose-fitting clothing or undressed (covered with a towel, except for the area being massaged). The practitioner uses oil, lotion, massage wax or talcum powder to reduce friction on the skin. All products used are organic, of the highest quality available and most are of edible quality.
