Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is the most common form of massage used in the west and is what usually comes to mind when most people think about massage. The focus of the Swedish massage is to relax the entire body using a system of long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage is also exceptionally beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Hot Stone Massage

This ancient practice combines Swedish massage techniques with warmed basalt stones. Smooth stones are moved over the muscles to create warmth deep within the muscle tissue. This allows deep muscle work without having to use excessive pressure. Intense heat and warmed massage oil create a deeply relaxing experience that relieves muscle tension and relaxes the body’s soft tissues, alleviating pain and improving circulation.
