RELAXATION MASSAGE

Remedial or Relaxation is a flowing treatment that will calm your body and mind. This type of massage involves a range of relaxing and therapeutically beneficial massage techniques which differ in depth, direction and rhythm. Techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, skin rolling and kneading are used slowly and rhythmically to relax your muscles and body. These techniques tend to be long, fluid massage strokes that feel nice and reduce stress.

Relaxation or Swedish massage therapy is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. Swedish massage is exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
