This is the modality that comes to mind when most people think about massage. With light to medium/firm pressure, the therapist uses different flowing strokes to rejuvenate, relieve stress and tension, improve circulation, and promote total relaxation of body, mind, and spirit. Each session can be catered to the clients specific needs and goals. Regular Swedish massage has been shown to improve skin tone and texture, improve lymph function, increase oxygen in the blood, and decrease in levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
