Swedish Massage is the style that comes to mind when most people think about a massage. It was developed in Stockholm a couple of centuries ago and is the most common and best-known form of bodywork performed today. The goal of Swedish massage is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in direction of blood returning to the heart.
Additional techniques include circular pressure applied by the hands and palms, firm kneading, percussion-like tapping, bending and stretching. Lotion is often used to reduce friction and stimulate the skin.
Swedish massage is exceptional for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.
