CHillCT: Your Trusted Source for Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is one of the most popular massage therapies around the world, and for good reason. Unlike some other massage traditions that date back centuries, Swedish massage is a relatively new invention, but it has quickly become a cornerstone of the wellness industry.

Developed in the 1830s by a Swedish fencing instructor to heal his own injuries, Swedish massage uses a combination of gentle kneading, tapping, rhythmic strokes, and stretching to promote relaxation and improve overall well-being.
