Swedish Massage is a classical massage - that can be light and gentle, or deep and invigorating. During Swedish Massage the therapist and client work together to improve health, gait and general well-being. Muscles in spasm can cause a lot of pain, discomfort and postural imbalances. The Swedish Massage therapist can treat this by searching out the knots and tightness and applying varying pressure with the hands, forearm and elbow to gradually reduce the pull and tension in the muscles.
