London Swedish Massage Therapy

We all get frazzled with the hectic pace of life in London. Sometimes we need to rest and recuperate. You benefit from Swedish Massage Therapy by reducing stress and a relief of tension. We all need a little stress in our lives to function, but with all the repeated stimulation of modern life, our Sympathetic Autonomic Nervous System gets overused, and we need to unwind. If we don't, we experience tension headaches and tiredness. Over time, our immune systems fade and we can get ill, with pathological changes to blood pressure and other signs of aging.

Your London Swedish Massage Therapist uses oil rather than talc. This encourages a more flowing, less intrusive massage, relaxing and soothing. Martin uses almond oil or grapeseed oil for preference - it soaks well into the skin, and does not stain clothes. For people with sensitivity to nuts, he uses aqueous cream as an alternative, however. Martin does not mix aromatherapy oils, but can provide ready-mixed ones if you wish.

How your London Swedish Massage Therapist helps you

London Swedish Massage Therapy helps all major systems of the body:
* NERVES: stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which de-stresses, improves digestion and is responsible for repair. Also releases endorphins IN A HEALTHY WAY;
* BREATHING: encourages deeper more efficient and relaxed breathing;
* HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS: encourages flow & nourishment;
* LYMPH: stimulates lymph flow, helping remove waste and combat disease. This is sometimes called "lymphatic drainage" and helps reduce edema;
* MUSCLES: removes waste products, reduces adhesions.

The more intense techniques are avoided to ensure you have a comforting, pleasurable experience. While it can be quite sensual, massage is about recovery and relaxation, and your masseur should ensure that he does not intrude on your space while you feel vulnerable.

Holistic Swedish Massage Therapy

A holistic swedish massage therapist, however, will be committed to helping you free up mind and spirit, as well as body. Martin is experienced with some forms of humanistic counselling, and tries to create an ambience that allows you to express thoughts and feelings as the session progresses. The objective is for you to release patterns of tension in your psyche, as well as your body.

After a Swedish Massage Therapy session, you should feel relaxed and more flexible, both physically and mentally. This feeling may last several days. You should drink lots of water, to assist the removal of toxins from the body, to prevent headache or symptoms of a cold.
