Swedish Massage in Ventura

Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in relieving pain, reducing joint stiffness, and improving blood and lymphatic circulation.
