What is Remedial Massage? 

A relaxation massage, also known as a Swedish massage, is a gentle type of massage aimed at promoting relaxation and stress relief. It involves using long, smooth strokes, kneading, and circular movements on the superficial layers of muscles using massage oil or lotion. The pressure applied during a relaxation massage is typically lighter compared to other types of massages, such as deep tissue or sports massage.

​

The main goals of a relaxation massage are to loosen muscles, increase blood flow, and induce a sense of overall well-being. It can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, alleviate minor aches and pains, and promote relaxation of both the body and mind. This type of massage is often chosen for its soothing and calming effects, making it a popular choice for individuals looking to unwind and de-stress.

Relaxation massages can offer the following benefits:

​

• Reduced cortisol (stress hormone)

• Increased Dopamine (happy hormone)

• stimulation and flushing of the lymphatic system.

What does a relaxation massage involve?

​

Before the massage begins, your therapist will talk to you about your health and lifestyle. They will ask you to lie on a table and will cover you with towels to protect your privacy and to keep you warm. They will use oils to help them massage your skin smoothly.

​

The therapist will use a number of different techniques to locate and repair damaged areas of the body. Meagan also offers hot stone massage and cupping therapy in her massage consults.
