Swedish massage is known as the "traditional" massage -- when people say they're getting a massage, this is probably what you think of. Swedish massages are known for their long, flowing strokes, and are designed to alleviate a number of health issues.

I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you a little bit more about Swedish massages, and its advantages.

A Swedish massage can have many benefits, including:

*  Improved blood circulation:

A Swedish massage can help dilate the blood vessels in your body.  This causes increased circulation, which allows your body to expel the toxins that build up. This results in a fitter, healthier you!

*  Injury prevention:

We mentioned that a Swedish massage can be a great way to expel the toxins that build up in your body.  In addition to your overall health, it can also be a great way to protect against injury and muscle spasms, and boost the immune system.

*  Increased flexibility:

Massage can help you carefully expand your flexibility.

Other benefits include:

*  Massages release endorphins

*  Reduce pain

*  Build weak muscles

*  Causes muscles to be more durable

*  Causes you to slow your breathing

*  Improves digestion

But most of all…

But most importantly, a Swedish Massage just makes you feel great!  It relaxes your whole body.  Many of our clients find that the stresses of their everyday life just seem to slip away.

Comparison with other massages:

Swedish Massage is notable as an "overall body" massage.  Other massages (such as the ones offered at our spa) tend to focus on more specific parts of the body.  For instance, a Reflexology massage focuses exclusively on the feet, hands and ears.  A deep tissue massage focuses on the muscles more deeply than would be appropriate in a Swedish Massage.
