Relaxation Massage

A massage using long, slow strokes to flush blood towards the heart which gives a feeling of relaxation. Swedish massage strokes are used such as effleurage ( broad lighter strokes to move oil/ lotion ), petrissage (kneading and wringing strokes) and tapotement (shaking and tapping motions to loosed tangled muscle fibres).
Clients with heart conditions should not book this type of massage.
