Swedish or Relaxing massage therapy aims to promote relaxation by releasing muscle tension, reducing your blood pressure and heart rate, and lowering stress hormone levels.  What’s more, it produces a calming effect on the patient and boosts their mood through the release of oxytocin and serotonin.

During your therapeutic session, you may experience some discomfort as your therapist applies various degrees of pressure on tight, tense muscles in the body. Open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you are comfortable. Your therapist may instruct you in your breathing to enhance the effectiveness of the massage, and may even employ various passive and active stretching techniques to release tight muscles.
