Swedish Massage

What Is A Swedish Massage?

Also known as a classic massage, it's one of the most common type of massages used around the world.

It's known for it's long, soft, kneading strokes, as well as it's rhythmic tapping strokes.  Unlike a deep tissue massage you typically focus on the top most layer of muscle without going too deep. 

This aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension & often creates an energizing yet euphoric experience.

This type of massage is often used by busy professionals who need a break & a bit of relaxation from their busy schedules.

It's also used for individuals who don't hit the gym often or have low muscle mass, but still need aches & pains released.

Your body will thank you for the increased levels of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation & flexibility while decreasing tension.


Benefits Of A Swedish Massage

The techniques used during your Swedish massage session are meant to relax you, stimulate nerve endings, & increase blood flow & lymph drainage.

Here are some additional benefits:

1.) Decreases Muscle Toxins

Using 2 of the common strokes effleurage & petrissage, our highly trained therapist push the toxins towards the lymphatic draining sites in the body.  This drains toxins from your muscles & out of your body & helps with inflammation issues such as edema (swelling in the body).

2.) Reduces Stress

Back massage is especially effective for stress management.  Several studies have confirmed the benefits of back massage for reducing stress in hospitalized patients. 

Our highly trained therapist activate what's called the parasympathetic nervous system & elicit the phenomenon known as "relaxation response".

Who doesn't want that?

3.) The Release Of Character Armor

Character armor also known as muscular tension is caused by suppressed emotions.

Unexpressed emotions such as anger & grief cause tension & stiffening in the muscles.

Your therapist will work to relieve your body from all of the tension sometimes caused by suppressed emotions.  The phenomenon known as emotional release often times occurs during the massage session. 

Unexpressed emotions such as anger & grief that are held in the receivers body may come to the surface in various forms. 

You may find yourself getting tearful, angry, or extremely happy.  This is normal & your therapist is trained to handle any issues brought up during the session.
