What is Swedish Massage?

Massage is one of the oldest, simplest and most natural of all remedial therapies. There are many different forms of massage, but ultimately they all serve the same purpose which is to support and accelerate healing within. This is achieved through gentle manipulation of muscles and tissues benefiting the various body systems.

Swedish Massage, also like Acupuncture has its roots from China.  Dr. Per Henrick Ling developed a Holistic massage system based on the integration of his knowledge in medical science and Chinese Massage (Tuina) during his travels to China in the 19th Century.  This is a very common form of massage used today. 

John believes that having a thorough understanding in both Eastern Medicine philosophy and Western Medical science is very important and is key to formulating successful holistic treatments in both massage and acupuncture. 

'I have regular treatments of swedish massage which I find both relaxes and loosens the muscles in my back. John has a very professional manner and makes you feel at ease.  I would definitely recommend him.'
