SWEEDISH MASSAGE

Swedish Massage is the most common and best known type of massage in the west. It is the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports deep tissue and aromatherapy massage and based on concepts of anatomy and physiology.

Swedish Massage can be slow and gentle or vigorous and bracing, depending on the client’s needs or request.

Before treatment therapist will carry out strictly confidential consultation and assessment of your needs.

During the massage clients body remains fully covered with towels except from the head and specific area that is being worked on. Oil will be applied with various massage strokes which will warm up the muscle tissue, releasing tension and gradually breaking up the muscle knots or lactic acid deposits. The pressure can be increased or reduced by client’s needs.
