Most of us experience stress in varying levels on a day-to-day basis. Stress is not good for our health because it makes our muscles tense and bunch up, causing pain. Swedish massage helps support clients living with stress and can bring comfort to people living with daily symptoms.
Swedish/Therapuetic massage was developed in the 1700s by Per Henrik Ling, a Swedish physiologist and fencing master. It is a deeply relaxing massage that involves the use of gliding strokes, kneading movements, circular pressure of the hand and fingers, vibratory movements, gentle stretching of tissue, and brisk tapping. The therapist uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, and help the body to eliminate waste products.
