Swedish massage is the most common type of massage. If it’s your first massage session or you don’t get massages often, a Swedish massage is the best type to start.

 

It is the combination of many different techniques rolled into one session. During the session, the therapist will work with the soft tissues and muscles in the body to help restore balance and health, applying gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. It can help increase the level of oxygen in the blood, improve circulation and flexibility. The result will relax all of the muscles in your body and release any pain or tension that may exist.
