One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques, Swedish massage is a repetitive sequential routine designed to re-energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. The disrobed client is covered with towels, with only the area being worked on being exposed. Therapists can use a combination of long strokes (effleurage), kneading, rolling and lifting (petrissage) and small circular movements (fricton) with oil, to reduce friction on the skin and allow the therapist to get in a bit deeper without hurting you.
The many benefits of Swedish massage include relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions, and improved circulation, which can speed up the healing process and reduce swelling from injury.

This style of massage can be applied as a free flow technique or standardised routine.
The techniques administered focus more on the deeper layers of muscle and can also work on the fascia, which is the "sheet" that covers your muscle.
In order to carry out these techniques I undertook advanced training and ensured I had a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology.
At times I may use my knuckles, elbows or thumbs to deeply penetrate your muscles or rather your knots within your muscles that have built up to help break them down and remove them from your body.
This can help to reduce inflammation which will have built up over a course of time.
In order for me to carry out this sort of treatment your muscles must be fully relaxed first, so I do tend to start with a lighter touch before going in deep.
Deep tissue massage is a remedial form of therapy that can help to reduce chronic muscular pain and can also reduce inflammation-related pain that has been caused by trapped nerves in your body.
