Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is the classic form of therapy that enhances the body's natural healing and function. This massage is a system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints, and uses five basic strokes. The five basic strokes are effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction and compression.
This is the perfect service for an introduction to massage therapy and for those who prefer gentle and relaxing bodywork. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain and joint stiffness. Two warm stones and a moist heating pad are incorporated into the neck, shoulders and back areas.
