Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a scientific system of massage techniques which form the basis of many massage techniques today. Swedish Massage is recognized for its long smooth strokes (effleurage), kneading (petrisage), and friction and tapping (tapotement), all of which assist in relaxing tired, aching, tight muscles while also encouraging blood flow as well as activating the lymphatic system and enhancing skin tone. Although Swedish Massage is ideal for releasing muscle tension and assisting in healing tendon and ligament issues, it is equally beneficial for relaxing the mind, thus relieving mental and emotional stress.
