Therapeutic Swedish Massage in Rochester, NY provided by Allen Galante, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)
Allen provides a relaxing and renewing Swedish massage. As the best-known type of massage, Swedish massage is given with firm, gentle pressure to ease muscle tension, encourage relaxation, and deliver health benefits.
