Classified as the traditional massage technique, a Swedish massage focuses on overall relaxation of the body. The soft muscles are treated with long gliding strokes, kneading movements, rubbing, and vibration to create a soothing sensation. This technique is often encouraged for first time massage clients. I recommend a Swedish massage for those of you finding yourself stressed out, having trouble sleeping, feeling stiff and sore, or simply wish to relax and treat yourself to a little me-time.
