Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It was developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of Stockholm in 1812. It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation.
Your session may begin with broad, flowing strokes that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure may be added gradually to relieve areas of muscle tension. The treatment will take place in a warm, comfortable and quiet room. Soft music will be played and candles lit to help you relax. You will lie on a table especially designed for your comfort. At all times you will be properly draped keeping you warm and comfortable. Only the body area being worked on will be exposed. Lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged comfortably while hydrating your skin.
