I use massage wax (a blend of natural beeswax and sweet almond oil) which melts at the temperature of chocolate, has a silky feel on the skin, does not "clump" body hair - and is much less messy than oil!
My standard one hour treatment includes back and neck, limbs, hands, feet and upper chest. Aromatherapy oils can be used with this firmer massage.
Massage helps to relieve muscle tension, stiffness and stress and induces relaxation, reducing blood pressure and promoting deeper and easier breathing. It also improves circulation of blood and movement of lymph fluids, fostering faster healing of strained muscles and sprained ligaments, reducing muscle spasms, pain, swelling and the formation of excessive scar tissue. The nourishment and health of the skin are promoted and the immune system strengthened. Joint flexibility and overall posture are benefited.
Swedish massage movements include effleurage (stroking and smoothing), petrissage (squeezing and lifting) and tapotement (tapping, pounding or "chopping"), as well as neuro-stimulation and pressure techniques.
For your treatment, you will need to remove appropriate items of clothing. Modesty is preserved at all times and you will be kept warm and comfortable.
