Body Massage/ Swedish Massage

What is Swedish Body Massage?

Massage is the manipulation of body tissues for therapeutic purposes. The word massage is thought to be derived from either the Arabic for ‘press softly’ or the Greek ‘to knead’. Swedish body massage involves the kneading, stretching, stroking and wringing of the body's muscles and tissues. In treating the body, the mind is also treated.
