A full body massage involves the use of a combination of massage treatments based on what is deemed to be most suitable for the client. These treatments include Swedish massage (light strokes, relaxing massage), holistic (good for emotional well being), lymphatic drainage massage (stimulation of lymph vessels to remove toxins from the body), Indian head massage and deep massage (treatment of injuries, removal of waste and scar tissue).

Body massage has benefits that are both psychological as well as physiological and is often the best treatment for conditions ranging from back pain, muscle tightness, sciatica and digestive problems or emotional problems such as stress and depression.

Individuals often seek other treatment such as physiotherapy, osteopathy or surgery without getting any benefit whereas they could have received some benefit from just one massage treatment. As well as this massage is useful in the battle to avoid future injuries.

The different strokes that the massage therapists use stimulate blood circulation in order to increase the rate at which toxins and waste products are removed from the body. Deep techniques remove scar tissue and separate muscle fibres (adhesions), allowing for increased muscle flexibility and improved muscle function as well as greater joint mobility, allowing for less potential of future injuries occurring.

Massage also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system which can have a positive effect on conditions such as high blood pressure, migraines and insomnia. Massage also relaxes muscles which can reduce pain as it prevents muscle fibres gripping onto nerves.
