Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage

#

Swedish massage is one of the most commonly offered massage techniques. It’s what people think of as a classic massage.
The technique aims to promote relaxation and increase circulation by releasing muscle tension.

Swedish massage is one of the gentle techniques and best suited for those looking just to relax or release stress.
Swedish involves the whole body, so the client will be in their underpants at most. Clients are kept draped except for the body part which is being worked on. Swedish is done with the aid of oils or lotions to allow the therapists to glide over the skin without friction.
The therapist will discuss your areas of concern that you would like addressed and ask you to undress and will leave the room as you get under the covers either face down or face up depending on the area to be worked on.
Swedish is usually gentle but not necessarily, if you are finding the touch to strong or to light, please inform the therapist so they may adjust to your preference. Sometimes areas that are bothering you will be much more tender than other parts of the body.
The therapist may find areas you are not aware of that are an issue.

Swedish massage is good for tight muscles, circulation, stress, headaches, posture, strengthen the immune system, a nurturing touch, improve mind-body connection and general relaxation.
