Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a type of holistic massage which offers many physical and mental health benefits. Using a variety of massage techniques, flowing movements and different pressures, Swedish massage helps to reduce the symptoms of stress and enhance wellbeing. The body does not work properly when it is stressed. Reducing stress has many positive impacts on health and wellbeing. Additionally, it has also been known to improve the immune system, enabling the body to fight infection better. Holistic massage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (which controls emotions) – improving an individual’s mood through the increase of dopamine and serotonin.

Swedish massage can be extremely beneficial for perimenopausal and menopausal women suffering with low mood, difficulties sleeping and anxiety. Massage also helps with other menopausal symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness, tension headaches and muscular aches and pains.
