Swedish Massage is a vigorous system of treatment designed to energize the body by stimulating circulation. Five basic strokes, all flowing toward the heart, are used to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Swedish massage is often used for generalized relaxation, stress reduction, relieving muscle tension, improving circulation and range of motion and health promotion.

Deep Tissue Massage works with the different layers of the body to relax, lengthen and release holding patterns in the most effective and energy efficient way possible.
