Classic Massage |
Ania giving Classic Massage in the "Aloha" treatment room. This is the foundation of healing massage techniques.
My Classic Massage is a full body relaxing massage based on the "Swedish" massage techniques of Effleurage, Petrissage, Friction, Tapotement, and Vibration, to facilitate relief of muscle tension, and to relax and energise.
The increase of body temperature which arises as a result of these methods leads to smoother skin, an improved metabolism, and the restoration of efficient body functioning.
Some benefits of Swedish massage are: improved skin elasticity, circulation and immunity; improved muscle suppleness; a more balanced nervous system; relief from insomnia; regulated metabolism; lowered high blood pressure (hypertension); relaxation of body and mind; greater body awareness; a lifting of the emotions and positive feelings; greater energy, as less energy is spent holding unnecessary tensions.
If you've never received massage and you're at all worried, I assure you that with Classic Massage there won't be any pain. Everything will be discussed, explained, and agreed before treatment begins. There's a place to leave me a note during the booking process if you'd like me to focus on something in particular.
