"A relationship is about two people having tremendous weaknesses and vulnerabilities, like we all do, and one person being able to strengthen the other in their areas of vulnerability. And vice versa. We need each other. We complete each other, passion and romance aside"

Jane Fonda

What is it?

Swedish massage is more accurately “remedial” massage. It was  invented by a Swede and it was that term which stuck. It is an incredibly popular massage offering long-lasting stress relief and a fantastic feeling of well being and is an excellent form of preventative healthcare. It is a very calming and relaxing style of muscle manipulation and can be performed using a pressure of your choice. It includes light, sensual feel-good strokes as well as stretching, joint movements, gentle shaking and rocking. Generally, it is full body and is given with you lying on the massage couch, firstly face down and you will be asked to turn over half way through.
