What is Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is a form of bodywork therapy that uses long, flowing strokes to improve circulation, relieve tension and induce relaxation. In Swedish massage, the practitioner applies pressure with their palms, thumbs or fingers - using gentle to moderate strokes - on specific points on the body. This stimulates blood flow and releases muscle tension, invigorating your entire system and improving circulation throughout the entire body.
