Melt away your stress with this classical combination of the five basic massage strokes: effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (compression), and vibration. A blissfully luxurious massage, Swedish Massage is perfect for when you really need to just relax and let the tension unwind from your body. Don’t worry, we wake you when it’s over.
Benefits of Swedish Massage:
The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles.
Swedish Massage reduces recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management.
