Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is one of the most well-known and widely practiced forms of massage therapy. It is designed to relax the entire body by rubbing the muscles in long, gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. This soothing therapy promotes relaxation, eases tension, and enhances overall well-being.

  • Effleurage – Long, sweeping strokes to warm up the muscles

  • Petrissage – Kneading and rolling to release muscle knots
