Relaxation Massage

Swedish Massage is known as "traditional" massage.  Swedish Massage includes long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and shaking motions.  It is effective for most ailments, because massaging the skin, the body's largest organ, sets up a chain reaction that produces a positive effect on all layers and systems of the body.  It effects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, and promotes health and wellbeing.
