What is a Swedish Massage?

Swedish massages are one of the most popular forms of therapeutic massage. The techniques used in Swedish massage usually involve some combination hands-on work, rubbing, stroking and kneading on the same general areas with an oil or lotion to reduce friction and provide hydration.

This type of massage focuses on general relaxation and can also increase the elasticity of the skin by increasing healthy blood flow to help promote cell health. It may take several sessions to get the best results, but it is well worth it. 

How does a Swedish Massage work?

During a Swedish massage, the gentle pressure is actually slightly deeper in some places than others. There are five basic strokes and/or styles in a Swedish massage:

1. Effleurage (sliding and gliding)
2. Petrissage (kneading)
3. Tapotement (rhythmic tapping)
4. Friction (with fibers or cross-fibers)
5. Vibration / Shaking

As you continue with your massage session, this will be explained in greater detail when necessary to address any specific requests or concerns that may arise. This type of massage can help relax tight muscles, reduce stress and pain, improve blood circulation and flexibility as well as mental health.
