 Swedish Relaxation Massage

Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage used today. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to enhance oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. It is specifically designed to relax muscles.

Swedish massage is an oil massage that involves the use of hands and forearms to manipulate the superficial layers of the muscles to improve physical and mental health. The client is generally undressed but draped with sheets for both warmth and modesty, only the part of the body being worked on is exposed. The five basic techniques used in Swedish Massage are effleurage (long, soothing strokes),petrissage (squeezing and kneading the muscles), tapotement (a repetitive striking or drumming, vibration (a trembling movement of the hands and fingertips, and friction (a circular movement around joints and tendons). Swedish massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and well being.

Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both physical and emotional, and is suggested as part of a regular program for stress management.
