Sports & Swedish Massage with Jass

The Swedish Massage is a soft, relaxing full body oil massage. Using long and gentle strokes and friction on the muscles and joints, it brings relief to the entire body. It will help let go of stress and tension, stimulate blood circulation and the lymphatic system, nourish the skin and help cleanse and rejuvenate the body. Duration 60min (back, shoulders and limbs) – 90mins (including face, head, hands and feet).

 

Sports massage is a strong therapeutic oil massage that works deeply on the muscles of a particular part of the body. It generally uses the same techniques as Swedish massage, but applies more pressure and focuses on specific areas (eg back/shoulders, arms or legs). It is meant for people who live active lifestyles in order to prevent injuries or for those who experience muscle tension or fatigue because of repeated straining of the muscle through exercise or (bad) posture. Ideal for relieving general back pain or shoulder tension.
