Experience Ultimate Relaxation: Swedish Massage in San Diego

The Purpose

This is often dubbed the "classic massage" in many countries. Its primary goal is full-body relaxation and the release of muscle tension. If you're looking for general relaxation and stress reduction, Swedish is likely the way to go.

The Techniques

​ This massage employs a combination of five primary strokes: sliding/gliding (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), rhythmic tapping (tapotement), friction (cross fiber), and shaking/vibration. These strokes warm up and work the muscle tissue, releasing tension and breaking up muscle "knots."

Pressure Intensity

​This technique usually involves lighter pressure, making it suitable for those who are sensitive to touch or are new to massage therapy.

Benefits

​Known benefits are full-body relaxation, improved blood circulation, alleviation of general muscle tension, increased flexibility, and a reduction in stress hormone levels.

Best For

​Perfect for those looking to relax or de-stress, first-timers to massage therapy, or those who don’t frequently get massages.
