Swedish massage is a technique used primarily to induce general relaxation while improving circulation and range of motion.

Through a sequence of long flowing strokes choreographed as a dance, the action of this massage technique promotes recovery from stress and prevents the onset of illness. The massage is applied on bare skin using a base lubricant to allow the hands of the practitioner to glide on the skin easily.

The massage improves circulation, which can help reduce swelling from injury and enhance the efficiency of the lymphatic system controlling the immune response. Massage facilitates the elimination of toxins from tired muscles to relieve aches and pain. It breaks adhesions from scar tissue restoring flexibility of motion.

Swedish massage is successful in relieving a variety of complaints: discomfort associated with chronic muscle tension, stiff joints, some forms of mild paralysis, sciatica, fractures, sprains, strains and overworked muscles.

Swedish massage is often associated with passive exercise of the muscle structures, which is of significant benefit for individuals with a limited range of motion due to illness or temporary immobilization. Recipients of massage often report a sense of relaxation, energy and heightened well-being.
