Swedish Massage utilizes hands-on techniques such as kneading, stripping and gliding using varying pressure. The main purpose of this type of massage is to increase restricted movement, decrease muscle tension and provide an overall sense of pain relief and relaxation.
Pre-natal massage is performed using the same techniques as Swedish massage, with positioning being the main difference. As the body changes to accommodate your growing baby, sometimes aches and swelling can occur. Receiving massage therapy during pregnancy can help ease some of the symptoms preganacy can bring about.
