Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology.

Traditional manipulative techniques are:
  • Effleurage: gliding strokes to warm up tissue and relax body tension.
  • Petrissage: kneading the tissue to relax and soften the area to create space around the muscle fibers.
  • Vibration: helps to release tension by sending relaxing vibes throughout the body.
  • Friction: for cross-fiber work to break down adhesions and spread muscle fibers.
  • Tapotement: percussion movements to boost circulation, to stimulate, to invigorate, and regulate muscle tone.

A beautiful touch for relaxation and well being is what you’ll experience in a Swedish massage.
