Swedish Massage is a form of relaxation massage that concentrates on long massage strokes in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. This form of massage, with the use of massage oil, relaxes the muscles by applying pressure between the muscles and bones with its kneading, friction, tapping, vibrating, percussion, effleurage and shaking motions.

Swedish Massage increases oxygen flow in the blood and releases toxins from the muscles allowing a shortened recovery time from muscle strain. It stretches the ligaments and tendons and increases circulation. Swedish massage reduces emotional and physical stress leaving the client feeling relaxed and invigorated. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands and circulation, promoting health and well being.
Swedish Massage is carried out as the client lays unclothed (except underpants) on a massage table, the parts of the body not being massaged will be covered with a towel or blanket.
