Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is a perfect way to relieve stress and muscle tension and reset any postural problems that have developed from repetitive motions or overuse of specific muscles. First, during an initial consultation, your therapist does a postural analysis and asks about any muscles that require special attention. Once you are ready, your therapist begins by warming your muscles with light compressions. Then the therapist uses a combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, friction and vibration throughout the duration of the massage. After the massage, your therapist discusses a self-care plan and recommends follow-up treatments, if necessary. Swedish massage therapy involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light, rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles.
