What are the Benefits of a Swedish Massage?

There are benefits in human touch, even in these times where gloves may need to be worn. These benefits can be experienced through massage.

There is outward and inward benefit in this, in that there is the outward physical touch to the areas you require massaging.

 Also inwardly there is benefit, although unseen, ‘feel-good’ chemicals are released – oxytocin, serotonin, and melatonin. Not that it’s vital to understand the scientific aspects, nor have a chemistry lecture of a massage.

Yet touch causes a release of these chemicals within. They are made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, with a little sulphur too in oxytocin. 


It’s all good stuff, helping to inwardly renew us, as well as the pleasure and enjoyment of having a massage. Or more on the therapeutic side perhaps, if having a Sports Massage

Come for a ‘whole’ or holistic massage, possibly covering things you may know about it, and maybe learning new things you did not know about it; experiencing things outwardly that you can see, and things inwardly that you cannot see.
