Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a whole-body therapeutic treatment that works the soft tissues and muscles to help restore health and create a calming and balancing effect.

Your massage therapist will use five main types of massage techniques in the massage: stroking and gliding; kneading; rubbing; tapping or pounding; vibration.

Best known for soothing tight muscles and boosting well-being, Swedish massage also offers a whole host of other health benefits, including:

• easing muscular strain by flushing out toxins
• improving blood circulation and blow flow throughout the body
• helping to keep ligaments and tendons supple and improving range of motion
• reducing emotional and physical stress
• easing back pain and chronic pain

Unlike deep tissue massage, 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 adjustment of pressure makes it an ideal massage for relaxation.
