Swedish Massage

Developed by a Doctor from Sweden in the 1800’s, Swedish massage is used to alleviate pain an discomfort due to muscle tension, increase range of motion in joints, improve blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, increase mental and physical relaxation, and decrease stress. Swedish massage involves long gliding strokes, friction, kneading, palpation and tapping movements on the soft tissues of the body. Occasionally, passive or active movement is used during the session to further stretch tense muscles.
