MASSAGE - SWEDISH
Swedish massage is a great introductory massage for many reasons, number one being that it involves firm, yet gentle strokes. Swedish massage is designed specifically to enhance circulation and blood flow to the large muscle groups.
Swedish massage's main benefit is the overall relaxation that it provides. A standard Swedish session addresses most major muscle groups of the body. The strokes of the massage relax individual muscles, while the overall experience eliminates mental stress, but they also replicate the movements of the circulatory system. By performing the strokes toward the heart, Swedish massage drains metabolic waste from the limbs of the body. Some of the strokes used in Swedish therapy increase blood flow, which further quickens the removal of bodily waste.
Swedish massage has many overall health benefits for issues other than just stiffness or muscle aches and pains. Benefits include, reduction in knee arthritis, easing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, lowering blood pressure, boosting immune system function,
