Swedish Massage

The classic.  All massage therapists in Canada are trained in Swedish massage.  It is a system of specific massage strokes and principles that allows practitioners to help their client heal while minimizing risk of further injury or complications.  The practioner can choose which strokes to use and how much pressure to apply in order to effect the greatest benefit to the client on that particular day.  That's why massage therapists all seem so different in our application of treatments!

Swedish massage can be applied with light pressure to help with the drainage of swelling, to flush out the tissues after exercise or surgery, or induce relaxation.  it can also be applied with deeper pressure to get in there and breakup knots and scar tissue.
