Swedish Massage

History

Body massage originated in Sweden and is the original massage technique involving a sequence of movements working superficially and deeper into the tissue layers.

Movements such as effleurage work over the skin with the palm of the hand producing relaxation, whereas movements like petrissage work deeply. Petrissage movements such as wringing and kneading will help to relieve tension promoting deep relaxation in the tissues and muscles, whereas tapotement will provide a more exhilarating feeling and promote better circulation within the muscles and body organs.

Swedish Massage can be a deeply soothing and a relaxing experience and we would recommend this type of massage for a relaxing and meditative experience. Each treatment will however be adapted to the client's needs.
