Swedish massage therapy
Swedish massage is a full-body therapeutic treatment that loosens the tight muscles and helps them restore health. Moreover, it provides a balancing and calming effect on the nervous system. Usually, five different techniques are used by therapists in Swedish massage-like stroking, gliding, kneading, rubbing, vibration, pounding or tapping.

Active/Passive assisted stretching
The primary purpose of active/passive assisted stretching is to improve the range of motion of your joints and increase elasticity. It can also help you to speed up the recovery of an injury, to help in postural improvements, to lighten the tissues, to release the strain within your joints and to enhance your performance.
First, the muscles that need to be stretched are stabilized from one side by the therapist. Then, it will stretch the tissue by using one or more joints which cross the muscle. The therapist then advises you to hold this state and make yourself feel relaxed and breathe smoothly. The time you have taken to maintain a specific position will decide how quickly you progressed. The stretching time depends on various factors and situations.
This technique is important since it encourages functional healing of the muscle injuries.
Reflexology
During a reflexology session, pressure and stimulation using the reflexology technique are applied to these points to improve blood and energy circulation, help lymph fluid move, give a sense of relaxation, relieve tension, improve sleep and maintain homeostasis and encourage the body's natural healing processes.Reflexology can also help to control pain by stimulating the release of endorphins – the body’s own natural painkillers. A monthly session is a great way to attain and maintain perfect health!
