Swedish Massage
What is Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage is a gentle, full-body massage that focuses on relaxation and improving circulation. It uses long, flowing strokes, kneading, and light pressure to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and promote overall well-being. This massage is perfect for individuals who want to unwind, ease tension, and experience a rejuvenating escape.
Techniques Used in Swedish Massage
Swedish massage employs five primary techniques to create a soothing and rhythmic experience:
- Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes that warm up the muscles and improve blood flow.
- Petrissage: Gentle kneading, rolling, or squeezing of muscles to release tension.
- Friction: Small circular motions applied with the hands or fingers to improve mobility and circulation.
- Tapotement: Light tapping or rhythmic percussion to energize the muscles.
- Vibration: Gentle shaking or vibrating movements to relax the body.
