Swedish Massage

Swedish massage, also known as, relaxation massage is one of our most requested treatments and the most common form of massage therapy in the United States. Swedish massage is a therapeutic approach to healing that applies a scientific system of activity to the soft tissue structure of the human body. In a Swedish massage treatment our highly skilled therapists use long, smooth strokes, kneading and other movements focused on superficial layers of muscle using warm oil or lotion. Swedish massage promotes relaxation through the release of endorphins. These are hormones that help the body relax and reduce pain. Feel your muscles melt and your tension disappear with a relaxing Swedish massage.
