Swedish Massage in hove

There’s no better way to relax and unwind your stress than with a Swedish Massage treatment. Let our highly skilled and caring therapists look after you. Swedish massage is very popular at Relaxation Zone Therapies, believed to have originated in Sweden and into the technique used today. Using techniques which promote muscle relaxation, after this treatment you will walk away feeling relaxed and energised. 

How exactly does this work? 

Swedish Massage involves a combination of techniques. Effleurage involves rubbing the body’s muscles with soft long gliding strokes in the direction of the blood flow returning to your heart. The technique of petrissage uses kneading strokes with the palms, thumbs and fingers, friction is also used to create circular pressure and light slapping, and rhythmic vibration gently shakes the body. 

Together these techniques and movements stretch the muscles, and improve the body’s blood flow, helping to release toxins and stimulate muscle recovery. At Relaxation Zone Therapies a full body session takes a minimum of one hour but often goes longer. Let our expert therapists consult with you at the beginning of the session on what’s best for you.  

What results can I expect from Swedish Massage? 

Many published studies have shown that a session can decrease stress hormone levels (Cortisol) and increase the production of white blood cells, which help your immune system to fight diseases. As a result Swedish Massage therapy is observed to have a positive effect for: 

• Reducing stress and anxiety 
• Pain relief 
• Relief of muscle tension  
• Improved sleep
