Swedish massage uses a variety of stroking, kneading, pressure and flowing movements over the body to treat and prevent a huge variety of complaints or can simply be used for deep relaxation. The pressure varies from light to strong. Swedish massage has been proven effective in the treatment of muscle aches and pains, headaches and migraines, depression, poor circulation, low immune system, digestive disorders, anxiety and stress and insomnia but is no way limited to this list!

It's a type of massage that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles. It is used for chronic aches and pain and contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. Some of the strokes are the same as those used in classic massage, but the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain in order to reach the sub-layer of muscles and the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles). When muscles have been overworked, through stress or exercise, waste products such as lactic acid can accumulate in the muscles, causing soreness, stiffness and even muscle spasms. Massage can alleviate these conditions through boosting the circulatory and immune system which benefits blood pressure, circulation, muscle tone, digestion and skin tone, thereby leaving the client feeling refreshed.

The treatment starts with a thorough mini manicure / mini pedicure to prepare your nails for the application of a semi-permanent gel polish. Gel polish is hardwearing nail polish that is cured under a UV/LED lamp so is dry instantly and that lasts 2+ weeks. Over 100 shades to choose from! Vegan friendly cruelty free option available!
