About Metta Massage Therapy
Massage therapy uses touch not only to relax the whole body, but also to provide a range of therapeutic health benefits. Some use it to simply relax and unwind, while others have regular massage to help them manage or cope with specific physical and psychological issues.
Swedish massage is a scientific system of manipulations on the muscles and connective soft tissue of the body for the purpose of relaxation, rehabilitation, and health maintenance. It follows five basic strokes and their variations: effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), friction (cross fibre), percussion (rhythmic tapping), and vibration. By using a combination of these techniques Selina can help relieve stress and pain and achieve holistic wellness.
