Swedish massage is now available at Revitalise in Brighton & hove 7 days a week. Swedish Massage was developed by Per Henrik Ling in Sweden in the 1820s. He combined ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman techniques with modern physiology.

The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the flow of oxygen in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load, and stretches the tendons keeping them supple and pliable.

Swedish massage stimulates the skin and nervous system, soothing the nerves and reducing stress on both an emotional and physical level. It is suggested in a regular program for stress management.

Swedish massage feels wonderful to receive as well as relaxing and invigorating. It affects nerves, muscles, glands, and the circulation while at the same time promoting ones well-being.
