More Swedish Massage Techniques

Swedish massage is the systematic and scientific manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purposes of establishing or maintaining good health.  Massage is used for a variety of reasons:  to bring a client to a deeper level of relaxtion, to rehabilitate, to prevent an injury, or to slow the progression of an illness.

Joint mobilizations involve moving a joint through its normal range of motion.

Stretching involves a single muscle (and its synergist) being drawn out to its fullest length.
