Mobile Swedish massages are now available in and around Kings Lynn & Downham Market. At weekends I also visit the Cambridge area. I am fully qualified having completed a years course at The College of West Anglia in Kings Lynn. I also work from my home just outside Kings Lynn.
Massages in the comfort of your own home make the perfect surprise birthday gift for that special someone in your life, especially if you are finding it difficult to know what to give.

What is a Swedish Massage
The term “Swedish Massage” refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Purpose of Swedish Massage.
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.
Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
Swedish Massage Techniques.
Swedish massage techniques include: long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage, and shaking motions.
Sally using friction on a clients thighs.
The techniques used are:-
- Effleurage: Gliding strokes with the palms, thumbs and/or fingertips.
- Petrissage: Kneading movements with the hands, thumbs and/or fingers.
- Friction: Circular pressures with the palms of hands, thumbs and/or fingers.
- Vibration: Oscillatory movements that shake or vibrate the body.
- Percussion: Brisk hacking or tapping
Benefits of Swedish Massage.
Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

It was brilliant Sally, I have had a few massages before, and you were just as good as them, if not better. You would never of thought you were still in training…:-)
I would say to anyone who reads this…if you are stressed, just in need of a pick-me-up, or for any other reason and you live near Sally, in the areas mentioned above…book Sally and have a massage. It was excellent.

I fully agree with Anne above - excellent massages - at weekends her area extends to Cambridge.

When I make arrangements to visit Cambridge area next time I fly to England, I will let you know I’m coming so we can book an appointment. I have regular massage therapy on my lower back (and sometimes neck) for the muscle knots due to spinal stenosis. It would be lovely to have you work on me.

Visited Sally today, she was excellent, I was so loose and relaxed that I noticed I had a spring in my step, on the way back to my car. Well done Sally, in those famous words “I’ll be back”
