Long, flowing movements combined with targeted pressure release muscle tension and improve circulation. This classic technique promotes deep relaxation while relieving areas of chronic tightness.
Gentle kneading addresses muscle groups through lifting and squeezing movements that improve flexibility. The treatment maintains a harmonious blend of soft and strong strokes throughout your session.
