Relaxation of the body and mind is one of the most important benefits of massage therapy. A feeling of warmth, softness and comfort in the tissues is the usual goal of a typical relaxation massage, which traditionally employs most of its modalities from the principles of Swedish massage. Most types of massage and manual therapy is performed with the intention of addressing pain in particular parts of the body, Swedish or relaxation massage can be used to effect the entire body and mind to create an overall sense of well-being. Life can get stressful and spending time on doing something for yourself often is not a priority. A massage in Victoria BC, though, is a simple way to treat yourself to something that can really have an effect on your entire week or month.
Swedish Massage Techniques
Our Swedish massage therapy in Victoria BC will generally include slow kneading, sliding and flowing strokes, as well as joint movement and gentle stretch to the skin and superficial tissues to get you feeling calm and your body relaxing from any tension or discomfort you may be experiencing.
The soothing rhythm used during the massage can get you relaxed into a state where you are not quite asleep but not fully awake either. The pressure our practitioners use can be adjusted according to your preferences, all keeping within the usual slow to moderate speed that makes massage so beneficial.
Achieve Health is located just off of Craigflower Road at the Admirals Walk Shopping Centre in Victoria BC. This makes us convenient for many Greater Victoria residents, especially with the plenty of free parking at the centre.
