What is Swedish Relaxation Massage?
Swedish massage uses five basic massage movements to increase circulation and remove toxins from the muscles. Always working towards the heart, the massage therapist incorporates these techniques into a flowing massage session that leaves the patient physically and emotionally relaxed.
What techniques are used?
Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading to release toxins from the muscles by lifting, separating, and rolling them), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking.
What are the benefits of Swedish Massage?
Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation. The development of Swedish massage is credited to Per Henrik Ling, though the Dutch practitioner Johan Georg Mezger adopted the French names to denote the basic strokes.The term "Swedish" massage is not really known in the country of Sweden, where it is called "classic massage".
