Developed in Sweden in the 19th century, swedish massage is one of the healing arts. Through a variety of techniques, it is designed as therapy and exercise for muscles and joints. By applying pressure to muscles against deeper muscles and bones, your CMT is rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood to the heart. Using swedish massage methods increases blood circulation in a constructive manner. Swedish massage benefits ligaments, tendons, skin and the nervous system, while reducing emotional and physical stress. At our first session, I will discuss with you how my process flows and whether you have any problem areas. Together we will determine what your session will include. I regularly use massage oils and offer a selection of scents for you to choose from. Your massage should take place in a room that is free from distractions, including people passing through, telephones and anything that will divert your focus from relaxation. After your massage you should drink plenty of water and enjoy your relaxation.
