Swedish Massage

When most people think of massage, they think of “Swedish Massage”. Swedish massage is a classic western massage technique which combines kneading and long smooth strokes to improve circulation, relax, and loosen muscles. The techniques applied in Swedish massage are gentle and rhythmic. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissue of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes, and it speeds the veinous return of de-oxygenated blood and toxins from the extremities. Even though the pressure is relatively light, this treatment still has therapeutic benefits including: an increased blood flow, increased muscle tone, improved oxygenation to the muscles, and of course, relaxation.
