Swedish Massage
What is Swedish massage?
Swedish massage is a popular treatment designed to relax the body, improve circulation and relieve muscle tension and stress. Although it is gentler than a deep tissue massage, it can be as gentle or as deep as the client requires. Massage oil is used as a medium for the varying techniques used during the treatment. Should you require an alternative medium to oil, this can be discussed before your massage upon completing the consultation form.
Each massage is tailored to the client’s specific problem area and is adapted as required. Absolutely no two massages are the same.
Many of my clients go into a deep relaxation or sleep while having the massage and wake feeling refreshed and relaxed. This is completely normal and shows that you have benefited fully from the massage.
Swedish Massage Techniques
- Effleurage: long gliding strokes on the limbs, head and along the spine
- Petrissage: long strokes on the back and shoulders
- Percussion: rapid, rhythmic tapping or cupping using the edge of the therapist’s hands
- Vibration: trembling movements to loosen tissues, reduce spasms and calm nerves.
