Swedish Massage

The goal of Swedish Massage is to relax the entire body, and this is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long, gliding, flowing strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin.

Swedish Massage is exceptional for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, and improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension and increasing relaxation.

Essential oils have many soothing therapeutic effects when inhaled and also when absorbed into the skin. Each essential oil has different healing properties. They can be used for calming, uplifting, energizing, cleansing, and decongesting. Aromatherapy helps relieve stress, insomnia, headaches, digestive disorders, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and back pain.

Deep Tissue Massage also helps to decrease chronic muscle pain. It is a large part of injury rehabilitation and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthritis and tendonitis. It is generally integrated with other massage techniques.

Deep Tissue Massage incorporates more intense movements and techniques, such as deep finger pressure, which may be slightly uncomfortable and cause soreness that lasts a couple of days before resulting in the desired relaxation and pain relief.

The result of Trigger Point Massage is to eliminate toxins in the muscle and release energizing endorphins.
