Relaxation / Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the most common and best-known type of massage in the West.  It can be slow and gentle, or vigorous and bracing, depending on what your goals of the session are.  Swedish massage promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension and creates other health benefits.  I'll use various massage strokes that include effleurage (gliding), kneading, friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping.

If you like, I can spend more time on a certain area. If the pressure is too light or too firm, you should speakup and ask me to adjust it. A good relaxation massage relieves stress and tension in your muscles and will leave you oozing with a sense of wellbeing!  Some of the general benefits of a relaxation massage are improved circulation, so your organs and skin get more oxygen.   A relaxation massage encourages your body to digest its food, and get rid of its toxins. It will help you to sleep better. A massage will also help un-knot any muscles, soothe aches and sprains and encourage the skin to heal minor abrasions.
