Swedish massage

“a relaxing massage, an expert hand.”

Swedish massage is a relaxing full-body treatment combining four techniques: effleurage (light gliding strokes), petrissage (kneading), friction, and tapotement (percussion) on carefully targeted zones.

It is designed to facilitate the circulation of oxygen in the blood, increase blood flow, and relax the muscles.

Beyond its effectiveness against depression, stress and anxiety, Swedish massage is particularly recommended for treating muscle soreness. By promoting suppleness, the varied movements warm and deeply relax the muscles.

A thousand-year practice

The human body is an extraordinary machine: the skin is equipped with sensory receptors and blood and lymphatic capillaries. Massage is a set of manual techniques whose sole purpose is the well-being of the patient. Practiced for thousands of years, its benefits are undeniable.

A cornerstone of gentle medicine

Wellness massage is a cornerstone of gentle medicine. More and more of us turn to it for relief, in societies overwhelmed by ambient stress and the many small pains of modern life.

Body and mind

We are not just a body separate from the mind, just as the mind is not just a set of emotions separate from intellectual or spiritual life. Each of these dimensions of the self interacts with the others.

Well-being can only be found by acting on all the components of our existence. An imbalance in a single one of them creates a discomfort that spreads to the whole.
