Swedish Massage

Swedish massage 

The basis of this « classic » massage’s techniques, have been invented by a Swedish doctor, Pehr Heinrik Ling in the 19^th century, and have been widely spread in the western world ever since. Very concerned about spiritual and body hygiene, and with a strong knowledge in anatomy and physiology, he wanted to have similar results as a gymnastic session. This technique mainly impacts the musculoskeletal system (muscles and joints), as well as blood and lymphatic systems.

A series of deep movements, light stroking, percussions, vibrations and joints mobilizations will stimulate the blood circulation and tissues oxygenation, which will eliminate the toxines.

It is considered as a dynamic therapy, suitable for athletes as well as tired and stressed people, or simply looking for a deep relaxation. This is particularly effective for sore muscles treatment.

It as a perfect cure for stressed and anxious people.

Massage sequences

Before starting the session, I ask you a few questions to make sure there are no medical contraindications. It also allows me to identify your needs and to fulfill your expectations. We chose together the essentials oils I will be using, as it is a massage given with a vegetable oil.

At the beginning of the session, we will also do deep breathing exercices in order to release deep tensions and to work on the diaphragm (essential breathing muscle).

It is recommended to make free time after the session, before going back to your normal activities.

As I always do at the end of the session, I will give you various advice according to your lifestyle, to help stay healthy.

Massage duration

1.30 h seems to be the perfect timing, as we can introduce mobilization movements in addition to the muscular work.  One session per month is ideal, combined with a good diet and regular physical activity.
