A Swedish massage is one of the most popular and widely practiced types of massage therapy. It is designed to relax the entire body by using a combination of long gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and gentle stretching. The focus is on improving blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and promoting overall relaxation. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Techniques Used:
1. Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes to warm up and relax muscles.
2. Petrissage: Kneading and rolling movements to target deeper tissues.
3. Friction: Deep circular motions to address knots and adhesions.
4. Tapotement: Rhythmic tapping or percussive movements to stimulate muscles.
5. Vibration/Shaking: Gentle shaking to loosen tight areas.
Benefits:
• Reduces stress and promotes relaxation.
• Improves blood flow and oxygenation of tissues.
• Relieves muscle tension and pain.
• Boosts lymphatic drainage, helping to detoxify the body.
• Enhances flexibility and range of motion.
Ideal For:
• Those new to massage therapy.
• People looking to relieve mild to moderate muscle tension.
• Anyone seeking relaxation and stress relief.
Duration:
A typical Swedish massage session lasts 60–90 minutes. It can be customised to focus on specific areas or provide full-body relaxation.
