Holistic Swedish Massage

​

Holistic Swedish Massage is a therapeutic technique that aims to promote relaxation, boost energy levels, and enhance overall well-being. There are many different titles used for this generalised massage, but they all encompass the same basic strokes. This type of massage can help you feel both relaxed and re-energised, and can support the healing of all kinds of illness.

• Kneading: Gentle squeezing and rolling of muscles to promote relaxation and improve flexibility.
