One of our most popular massage techniques available today, Swedish Massage Therapy offers amazing tension relief and stimulates overall healing.
How Does it Work?
Our expert masseuses use long, gliding strokes along the muscles to help alleviate tension in the muscles, joints, ligaments, connective tissue, and more. Providing our clients with the full-body relaxation they need.
The Swedish Massage gained most of it popularity because of the relaxation it provides as well as the major health benefits. Our body work experts use long strokes, making sure to always stroke in the direction of blood flowing back into the heart. This allows for the blood to reach the heart the faster and filter out harmful toxins.
The skin is lubricated with massage oil and using long, gradual strokes, we break up “knots” and adhesions along the body. Adhesions are areas in which muscle tissue is tight and gripped together, caused by stress and tension.
Some of the Major Benefits of the Swedish Massage Include:
- Full-Body tension relief and relaxation
- Helps blood flow back to the heart.
- Increases oxygen levels in the blood.
- Decreases toxin levels in the blood as well as the muscles.
- Improves circulation.
- Improves flexibility.
- Pain relief.
- Helps reduce levels of the stress hormone, Cortisol, and its precursors.
- Can help improve the immune system by raising your white blood cell count.
