Massage Modalities + Techniques

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Swedish or Relaxation
Swedish Massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and create other health benefits.
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.
Regular Swedish Massage can help reduce the long term effects of stress on the body, which include:
- Weakened connective tissue in all parts of your body
- Reduced strength of muscles and organs
- Increased risk for heart and respiratory ailments
- Lessens the body's ability to fight infection and to recover from injury
"The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage every day."
