Swedish Massage refers to a variety of techniques, specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, rubbing in the same direction as the heart.  The main purpose of Swedish Massage is to increase oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Swedish Massage shortens recovery time from muscle strain by flushing uric acid, lactic acid, and other metabolic waste.  It increases circulation without increasing heart load.  It stretches ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable.  Swedish Massage stimulates the skin and nervous system, and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time.  It reduces stress, both emotional and physical.  Swedish Massages feel good and are relaxing and invigorating.  It affects nerves, muscles, glands and circulation while promoting health and well being.  Swedish Massage is a great compliment to Anointed Oil Therapy and Paraffin Therapy.
