Swedish Massage

So what is it?
This is the type of massage most people think of when someone mentions massage. It can also be called basic or base massage. This is the type of massage all massage therapists learn first. It's also a great type of massage to try if you've never had a professional massage. We include this type of massage in our Relaxation massage treatment. Swedish massage includes up to 5 types of strokes. Each type of stroke is geared to help you relax, de-stress, and improve your sleep. The pressure involved with this type of massage is light to medium. The tempo of the strokes can be moderate. For a massage with slower strokes, see our pages on Deep Tissue or Manual Lymphatic Drainage (coming soon).
