Massage Therapy can be traced back as far as 5000 years through different cultures. Swedish massage uses old techniques created by ancient Greeks and Romans to enhance health with many other physical benefits. It uses long, sweeping strokes (effleurage), muscle kneading and rolling (petrissage), rhythmic tapping (tapotement), long gliding strokes used in the direction of blood returning to the heart combined with fast movements like pounding and chopping. It is one of the best-known types of body work to promote lasting relaxation for the whole body.

Swedish massage improves circulation by helping to dilate the blood vessels and helps with flushing out elements in the body that can cause muscle soreness and swelling. Swedish massage stimulates lymph circulation which results in faster toxic elimination and helps the body heal by increasing the amount of red blood cells.

Swedish massage is also important for athletes because it helps in the processes of improving muscle tone and reducing fatigue. After an intense workout, the body gets depleted of essential amino acids, such as L-Glutamine.Massage can help with that as well as boost the immune system by stimulating a chemical reaction in the body to reduce susceptibility to colds.

Another important benefits of Swedish massage is the relief of stress and tension in the body. This includes athletes! In some instances athletes experience high levels of stress that affect their performance. When receiving massage, the mind relaxes and the inner tension is released. Therefore having a nice relaxing massage prior to an athletic even has tremendous benefits from decreasing anxiety and boosting performance.
