Hands-on manipulation of the body's muscles and soft tissues to ease tension, aid relaxation and improve circulation.
Body massage is a hands-on complementary therapy in which a trained therapist works the soft tissues of the body, using techniques such as stroking, kneading and gentle pressure, to help you relax and ease muscular tension. Styles range from gentle relaxation (often called Swedish) massage through to firmer sports or deep tissue work, and the pressure and focus can be tailored to what you want on the day, whether that is unwinding, easing a tight back and shoulders, or general wellbeing. Many people find it helps them feel calmer, sleep better and move more comfortably.
