What is involved in a Swedish and Remedial Massage Treatment?
Swedish Massage utilises four basic strokes which are tailored to each Part of the body.  Swedish is a hugely versatile massage treatment, which can be adapted to suit the needs of the individual. For example, it may be deep and slow to encourage total relaxation of mind and body or strokes may be quicker and lighter to invigorate you if you are feeling sluggish.

Remedial Massage is designed to achieve five basic aims: Reduction of pain: an increase in range of movement; restoring appropriated balance; the enhancement of day-to-day performance, and to reduce the risk of re-injury.

Penny aims to provide an excellent massage service for each individual. Treatments are tailored according to the outcome each person wants to achieve. Penny draws upon Swedish and Remedial Techniques in all of her treatments.
