What is a Swedish Body Massage Nottingham?
Swedish body massage is a popular body massage that lasts approximately one hour. It is an oil based massage that is fairly gentle to moderate pressure with the aim to gently relax and release within both the body and mind. Depending upon your situation that would be discussed in consultation. This could be a full body session or one that just works specific areas such back, neck, arms etc.
Firstly, there’s a physical effect on your body helping to reduce muscle aches and pains or increase joint mobility. Then there are the psychological benefits of providing feelings of relaxation and reduced feelings of stress.
These sessions will start of very gentle so the therapist can get a feel for the areas worked as well as to start spreading the oils or creams used to warm up the area with gently relaxing movements. As every session is different and specific to the needs of that session the techniques used will vary. However one thing that is often common is lots of clients end up falling asleep in the sessions due to its relaxing nature.
We encourage our clients to communicate with their therapists so that their massage can be customized to their specific needs.
