Swedish Massage in Bath
Swedish Massage (also called classical or holistic massage) is a relaxing and vitalising form of
manual treatment were you can lay comfortable
on a soft massage table.
I only use high quality, organic oils for my massage treatments and you will be covered with
a sheet
except the small area where you actually will be treated on to give you enough privacy.
Optional you can have a full body massage or just back, neck and shoulder massage.

Five basic massage techniques
- Stroking (Effleurage) is the most comfortable and relaxingform of massage, espacially used in the beginning of the treatment to dispers the oil on the skin and to get used to the hands of the therapist.
- Kneeding (Petrissage)
Skin or muscles are either kneaded between thumb, index- and middle finger or between both hands to generate pressure to the muscles and the connective tissue underneath the skin to enhence blood circulation. - Rubbing (Friction)
Small circular movements are made with the fingertipps or with the heel of the hand, a very effective form to work on the hardening of muscles. - Tapping (Tapotement)
Short tapping and percussing movement with the back of the hands which increases the blood circulation and changes the tonus of the muscles. - Vibrating
Vibrations are created with the fingetipps or the flat hand to simulate a tremble which reaches the deeper tissues and organs to loosen and solving potential cramps.
