What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish Massage (also known as Therapeutic Massage and Holistic Massage) is a treatment involving a sequence of movements that specifically work to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation of both body and mind, reducing emotional and physical stress.

Medical Acupuncture and Acupressure
What is Medical Acupuncture? What can it treat?
Medical Acupuncture provides a fast effective route to pain relief, through the use of fine needles inserted into trigger points in muscles.
