Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the basic, classic form of western massage that uses pressure to help you feel relaxed and calm.

The five main techniques used are stroking and gliding, kneading, rubbing, tapping and vibration which work together to improve your circulation, soothe your muscles and make you more relaxed.

Swedish massage uses softer strokes on the bonier and more delicate parts of the body and stronger strokes where there is thicker muscle coverage. This sensitivity to pressure makes it ideal for relaxation.

Besides the calming benefits, Swedish massage is great for:

• easing muscular strain by flushing out toxins
• improving circulation by increasing oxygen flow in the blood
• helping to keep ligaments and tendons supple
• stimulating the nervous system
• reducing emotional and physical stress.
