SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage works directly on muscle tissue to reduce adhesions and tension points. It involves thumb, hand and forearm movements and uses a combination of kneading, soft brushing and applied pressure to specific areas. Due to the slow, methodical movements, it is not uncommon for clients to drift off in total relaxation. Depending on the needs of the client, a Swedish massage can be a full body experience or restricted to problem areas.
