Swedish Massage

What is Swedish Massage?

Otherwise known as “classic massage”, Swedish massage is defined in large part by the original strokes that compose its method: effleurage (long strokes), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (striking), and frictions (rubbing), with vibration added later.

It is intended to improve circulation and tissue elasticity while reducing muscle tone and creating a parasympathetic response, which is relaxation and a sense of well-being.
