Swedish Massage

Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (compression), and vibration. This versatile massage can be as gentle or firm as you wish.

The benefits of Swedish massage may include:

  • a sense of well-being from the release of endorphins, the body's 'feel good' chemicals
  • Calmer and more focused from a reduced heart rate and slower breathing
  • Improved circulation increasing the flow of nutrients and oxygen around the body.
  • A detox as the lymphatic system flushes out waste products from the muscles Increased flexibility as knotted and stiff muscles are eased.
