Swedish Massage

One of the most commonly taught and well-known massage techniques; Swedish massage is a vigorous system of treatments designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.  The disrobed client (not necessary for effective massage treatments), is covered by a sheet, with only the area being worked on exposed.  Therapists use a combination of broad, flowing strokes, kneading, rolling, vibration, percussive and tapping movements, with the application of lotion or oil, to prevent excessive friction on the skin. The many benefits of Swedish massage may include generalized relaxation, dissolution of scar tissue adhesions and improved circulation, which may speed healing and reduce swelling from injury.
