About Swedish Massage

Swedish is a classical European massage technique of massaging the muscles with special oils by therapeutic stroking and kneading of muscle tissue to promote stress relief. It is used to improve circulation, relieve muscle pain and tension, increase flexibility and induce relaxation.  Swedish Massage is a style of massage (or modality) utilizing long, flowing strokes.  There are three basic strokes:

1. Effleurage: a French word meaning "to skim" or "to touch lightly" is a series of massage strokes designed to warm up the muscle before deeper tissue work

2. Petrissage: Kneading, or similar pressure which are deep and compress the underlying muscles.

3. Tapotement: A rhythmic percussion most frequently administered with the edge of the palm or the heel of the hand.

This type of massage is very "soft" in application and can be considered as a pampering type of massage.  During a Swedish massage, the practitioner will use oil, cream or lotion to reduce friction and allow smooth strokes.  The client is covered with a sheet in a technique called "draping."  During the massage, the therapist will uncover, massage and re-cover one part of the body before moving on to another part of the body.  Swedish massage is the foundation for other types of Western massage including sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy.
