Swedish Massage Swedish massage is the most common type of massage. If it's you're first time having massage, Swedish massage is the perfect place to start. What You Need to Know About Swedish Massage * During Swedish massage, massage therapists use massage oils to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes called effleurage. Other classic Swedish massage moves include kneading, friction, stretching and tapping. * Music is played during your session to enhance relaxation and incorporate sound healing. * Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create health benefits such as decreasing heart rate, increasing blood flow and circulation, increasing immunity T-Cell production and decreasing stress. Swedish massage eases mind tension allowing you to relax and let down. Occasionally during massage you may fall asleep or have an emotional release. These are natural responses to relaxation and perfectly normal. * During the massage session you are nude underneath a sheet. You are covered the entire time except when the therapist uncovers only the part of the body he/she is working on, a technique called ''draping''. You can keep your underwear on during Swedish massage, and many newcomers do. The massage therapist leaves the room to allow you privacy before and after your massage session. * You are free to state your preference for pressure during your massage. It can range from light to firm. Swedish massage usually includes some deeper work on areas of specific muscle tension. If you want more intensive work and firmer pressure, get a deep tissue massage. The massage may also include accupressure points on the head, face and feet. It is recommended your drink plenty of water after your session to replenish the body and facilitate detoxication. We also can recommend a natural Cleanse for Life drink and Want More Energy electrolyte replenshing drink from our nutritional cleansing and supplement line called Isagenix.
